I cannot express what a joy it was to work with Le Ann and Roy of Draperies & Interiors by Design…read morein updating my new condo. For me their process seemed very quick and very efficient, and the patience, kindness and friendliness from them and their staff was just heartfelt. They are a company I treasure and will recommend to everyone. I bought motorized shades for two sliding doors that were a major splurge for me, but they have proven to be well worth every penny I spent. I highly recommend them. They have so many beautiful drapery options to choose from, but when Le Ann came to my home with samples to do measurements, that helped me visualize the end result and I knew exactly what I wanted. I also found the perfect rug in their studio for my new space that just makes this place my own. I could not be happier. I cannot wait to work with them on two other windows I need to outfit to make those spaces just perfect. Thank you friends.

My experience with Le Ann was exceptional. I was looking to replace a few Hunter Douglas blinds in…read moreour home. Her pricing was as competitive--in fact more competitive--than the The Blind Man and Sungard. She came to our home for measurements, and was just a lovely person to meet. Her husband, Roy, did the installation, and was just as wonderful. Roy voluntarily fixed a lot of existing Hunter Douglas blinds left here by the previous owners. He was sincere and obviously loved his job. They were both a joy to deal with, and I will be back at their store for more blinds. This type of personalized service is rare.

What's here: this is a good place for handy people who don't mind doing a little work. It's not a convenience solution. The operating organization is the Preservation and Conservation Association, and the items for (very affordable) sale are largely historical or quite vintage. When I passed through they had light fixtures, doors, what sure seemed to be a Philco BC-221-N Vintage Radio Frequency Meter, door locks with keys, school lockers, etc etc. As another reviewer noted, the doors are all labeled with measurements and organized so you don't have to fish things out unnecessarily. Staff is super friendly and helpful, I bought a project and the staff made sure I knew what I was getting in for. There is a little museum section in the back of the store with historical items on display and they have some books for in-store use on topics like making a home more elder-friendly and dealing with vintage hardware. Community health: when we went, the doors were open for cross ventilation and half the staff were masking (note, I knocked a star off bc community spread is high right now and everyone, regardless of vaccination status, should be masking indoors).

It's all salvaged, so you don't find anything shiny and new but you'll find things that have character and are worn down - which seems to be totally in right now! This is a great place for art students looking for inspiration or random materials, theatre companies looking for set pieces, or anyone interested in doing some random building. Prices were hard to find. Not everything had a price and I didn't want to bring every piece up to the counter to check it. There's no way of knowing whether the piece you're buying is in working order or not (e.g. electrical pieces). It's a fun place to wander around in and see what they have, but didn't have anything worth my money this time around.

After reading through the other horrible reviews, I have to say, they are 100% accurate!…read more Everything before install was fantastic. A 2 day install turned into 2 weeks with lots of no shows from the installer and an extra $1,400 in cash given to him for things he claimed were extra. Getting ahold of the owner was not easy but once we did get ahold of him, he did apologize and seemed like he was going to make sure everything was made right. He took $700 off our final bill. Once the installer was done, we had to call to ask about getting all the cabinets adjusted aka straight. They did come out and do that. After about a week, we noticed the pull out trash can was hitting the pantry door next to it. Luther sent a guy out to "fix" it. The "fix" worked for another couple weeks until it gave and started hitting again. Then it l came off the track. We obviously haven't been able to use it since (so after just a few weeks). You can see in the picture below that it's crooked. Getting ahold of them was extremely difficult but when we did, Luther told us it sounded like a spacer wasn't installed between the two. We kept hearing they would get back to us. Eventually they stopped answering our calls. Before the holidays, months after the issue and not being able to use the trash can, my husband got the idea to call from his work phone. They of course answered, not knowing it was him and told him they were looking into a solution. Again, we were ghosted for months. My husband stopped in last week to give them another chance to make this right and Luther Falls was far from professional and wanted nothing to do with working towards a solution. He called my husband awful names and told him to "F our cabinets," while walking away from him to avoid a conversation. I then made a Facebook post to let all my friends and family know about our situation and the terrible treatment we had received. Luther commented saying we were liars and that we broke it and didn't notify them until 6 months later. Obviously that is not the case. We are honest, hard working people who tried to give a company chance after chance to make it right. We never dreamed that we would be treated this way. We've remodeled 3 homes now and never had any issues with anyone we've worked with! Also, we aren't 100% sure our bottom cabinets are even the color we ordered. We picked charcoal grey and our receipt says that but these are navy blue. We never even had the chance to bring this up to the company because it's been the least of our worries.

What makes this even more impressive is that I live out of town and handled everything over the phone with William, the co-owner. From our very first conversation, I could tell he was knowledgeable, honest, and committed to delivering top-quality work. We worked out all the contract details remotely, and when I finally met him in person on the first day of the project, he was exactly who I had come to trust over the phone--professional, straightforward, and a man of integrity. His team was phenomenal! Every worker assigned to the job was skilled, efficient, and respectful of my mom's home. They showed up early every day, put in full days (sometimes even longer), and left no detail overlooked. There were no hidden surprises, no delays--just honest, high-quality workmanship. Finding a contractor you can trust, especially from a distance, is no small task. But I found exactly that with CU Midwest Designs. If you're looking for a company that delivers exceptional results with integrity and professionalism, look no further. I HIGHLY recommend them for any home construction needs!
