Alexson's
If you're looking at drapes, I'd also consider an upholsterer who also does drapery (many do). Avery's and Alexson's come to mind. We've consulted them both on furniture re-do's and they both were impressive. If they do drapes, you'd be all set. Whatever you do, I would just be sure you feel absolutely comfortable with whoever you choose for whatever you decide to have done. Custom is VERY expensive and almost always has a no return- no refund policy. Take your time. I hope you find something you love and someone you trust to execute your design. Good luck.

Fabric Place
Depending on exactly what it is you're looking for, the Fabric Place custom department is very helpful for both drapery and custom-sized wooden blinds. The staff is knowledgeable and the fabric selections are endless.

Home Depot
I would NOT recommend Home Depot. I custom ordered from there once several years ago and would never do it again. While the employee was knowledgeable about what I wanted, the order was botched from the beginning and took far longer than for when it had been promised and the quality was not up to par. It was sent back several times and never was exactly right. That could have been just a one-time incident (don't want to insult anyone or step on anyone's toes here), but I prefer to do business with someone who specializes in this area, and not merely a single department in a glorified hardware store. It's a mistake I won't make twice.

I use Sandy Krenz at Wallpapers N More. Sandy has helped me with window Treatments and I have recommended her to other family members that think she is great.
