REVIEWS: 'Blinds, Curtains & Cushions'

Grand Designs Magazine, May 2006
"Merrick & Day are the leading curtain makers for interior designers based in the UK. Moreover, they've already published a plethora of books on the subject. This latest offering differs in that it covers blinds and cushions as well as curtains, providing a step-by-step guide to making an impressive variety of window dressings for your home. Professional tips from the duo are useful, making the task in hand seem surprisingly easy, and there's a useful glossary at the back if you need to know your pinch- from your pencil-pleats. True, not many people have the time or the inclination to make their own curtains or blinds, but for those that do, this could prove an invaluable companion."
- Yasmine Gibson, Sub-editor, Grand Designs Magazine
