Our Interiors Business


Elaine Benjamin and I work a business called Interiors by Debra and Elaine and have for nearly eight years. We’ve been blessed to have work to do, to have the privilege of meeting new people and to stay friends throughout the process. It is a part-time endeavor for us and we like it that way. In addition to the decorating aspect of this business, each of us has a sideline that contributes an element. I do the sewing—window treatments, pillows, bedding, etc. and have an Etsy site featuring my handmade creations called Frogstudio. Elaine makes fabric laminated window shades. This is a new venture for her and one that promises to add another dimension to our offerings. These shades work on a pulley mechanism which makes raising and lowering them a cinch. They are a nice alternative to a roman shade. She calls her business Shady Lane.
Here’s a picture of my valance and her shade we recently made for a client.
