located in Elberton, Georgia, which, after 22 years, is still
based in the basement 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 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. |
