Hodges is the owner of Soft Furnishings, a workroom
located in Elberton, Georgia, which, after 25 years, is still
based in the downstairs of her home. She operated Soft
Furnishings for the first eight years as a one-person
retail workroom. Now, Soft Furnishings has expanded to employ
five people and provides a wide variety of wholesale workroom
services around the country. The workroom has grown incrementally
through Beth’s attention to customer service and her
product knowledge. She attends shows and seminars regularly,
and strives to keep Soft Furnishings’ methods
up to date and at the very highest end of the current industry
standards.

Each
project is handled with individual attention, and great care
is taken to “engineer” each job for optimum results.
Each of the seamstresses employed by Soft Furnishings has
over 30 years of experience, and takes extreme pride in the
production of high quality window treatments and accessories. Soft
Furnishings specializes in the “difficult” jobs.
Kingston and Empire treatments, custom headboards and
canopies have become a particular favorite. Design
assistance, with proper attention to the appropriateness
of period, style, proportion and detail is offered on each
job undertaken. |
