SATISFACTION

Carole’s customers are primarily located near the Western North Carolina towns of Bryson City, Sylva, Waynesville, Franklin and Cherokee. Here's what a few of those clients
have to say —

From a couple, who summer in Western North Carolina and winter in Florida.

Carole has done several sewing projects for us over the last few years. We usually have her do them while we are down in Florida. We settle on a design before we leave and if necessary she mails fabric swatches for us to decide upon. This year she installed a pretty valance in our living room and delivered our newly reupholstered antique bench before we arrived back home in Cherokee. We would gladly recommend her to anyone!!

From a young couple living in Raleigh, NC. (They have work sewn by Carole and shipped to their home in Raleigh)

The last set of drapes that Carole made for us were absolutely perfect!! They were the finishing touch on Evan’s (our newborn) nursery. The green color brought the whole room together.
     We gave Carole a pattern of our kitchen’s bay window and had her make a 3-piece, interlocking, cornice board with beautiful, gathered cascades. It was amazing!! Such an intricate design and it fit together perfectly!
     Carole is very easy to work with, efficient, talented and creative. We’ve had a lot of fun working out the details of our window treatments over the phone. We also recommend her highly for any reupholstering as she did a wonderful job on our dining room seats.

From the owner of Calby’s Antiques, Flowers, and Gifts, Bryson City, NC.

The drapery work done for my home’s dining area was superb! Carole was thoroughly professional in her approach and presentation, and was willing to answer any questions. Especially nice was the fact that the work was finished when she said that it would be. I was completely satisfied.
     She also, upon my recommendation, did a beautiful job of making pew cushions and reupholstering the kneelers for our entire church. Everyone was well pleased.
     I would recommend Carole to anyone needing quality, professional drapery designing, reupholstering and also the fabrics to do the project.

I have genuinely appreciated the quality workmanship that Carole displayed as she helped me to decorate windows in my motel, cabins and home. Her prices are fair and I feel that she is very honest. It is delightful working with someone who is so pleasant and cheerful. I would recommend her to anyone for a very professional experience!

From the owner of Allison Outdoor Advertising, Sylva NC

Carole has sewn draperies for us for many years. Her drapes, cornices and valances adorn every room of our home. She has been so sweet to work with our fabric or advise us in the beautiful fabrics she can supply. Several of her designs for us were unique, one-of-a-kind. Her creations are gorgeous.
     Carole is not only an excellent craftsman, but she has also become a dear friend. We gladly recommended her to our daughter and also to our friends.

We have used the services of Carole Collins in our home and in our businesses for the past 12 years.  She has designed and made draperies, upholstered furniture, made spreads, comforters and pillows. She has also done some very important repair work.  We value and appreciate the creativity, quality and the reasonable cost of everything she has done for us.  Unsurpassed skills!

Carole Collins has been a great window consultant and decorator helping with five offices and our entrance area for Swain County Schools Central Offices.

From a retired couple in Whittier, NC.

Outstanding, quality workmanship! Carole designed window treatments for four large rooms in our home, handling everything from measuring, helping us in choosing some absolutely gorgeous fabric and ordering just the right rods.
     Most importantly, her craftsmanship of the actual drapes and valances was a sight to behold and her installation was flawless.
     We’ve never had any problem in the two years since she completed the project, but we knew that we could call her and she’d be there for us.
     Her many years of experience, prompt timeliness, and gentle personality make dealing with Carole a pleasure.
