A Note from Kristine 🐝
Hi everyone,
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to send a warm holiday hello from my family to yours. This season always reminds me how grateful I am for the wonderful people we get to work with here in Mobile. I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with comfort, good food, and moments that make you smile.
Thank you for your partnership, your support, and the community we’ve built together. Wishing you a joyful start to the holiday season and a bright, cozy few weeks ahead!
Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

🌲 Preparing Homes for the Holiday Season
Quick Wins for Realtors & Designers
As we head into the holiday season, your clients may be refreshing their homes for hosting Thanksgiving dinner or holiday parties, selling, or staging. Window treatments are one of the fastest ways to elevate a room without major renovation, especially when time is tight.
Here are a few recommendations you can share with clients:
Warm up a space instantly with textured Roman shades, layered drapery, or light-filtering roller shades.
Boost curb appeal with uniform front-facing treatments, an underrated detail that photographs beautifully in listings! 📸
Create cozy, functional rooms using dual shades that provide privacy during shorter winter days while still letting in natural light.
If you’re preparing properties for holiday photos, walkthroughs, or festive gatherings, we’re happy to help select quick-turnaround options that fit your client’s timeline and budget.
