June 2010 - Denton Drapes in top US magazine
A little while ago I was asked to write an article for Drapery & Design Professional which is the USAs' leading magazine for curtain makers and soft furnishers. I had never done anything like this before but the experience gained from working on our blog over the last few months helped out and the magazine has just been published. Here is a copy of my article and a pic of the magazine cover.
