Martinique Interiors' Review, 8/4/2008 9:35:10 PM

Reviewer: martiniqueinteriors@msn.com

Great information. My third time to visit the site became much easier to use and manuver. The videos are clear and easy to follow. One thought for the packaging of draperies for me it could have gone a little quicker w/o some of the ovious details. The take up chart and the elements of a drapery are great! The page with the swag layouts I didn't understand 1. Why one of the swags on each design was darker. I didn't really know what I was to learn. Overall the details to the work and the overall presentation is TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to you all!!!
