In the photo below is a guest room I designed with a wonderful client, Dee. She frequently has visitors to her home on Lake Union in Seattle. Her warm, engaging personality and stunning home is like a 5 diamond hotel experience.

Here are some of the details that make this guest room special:

• a bench at the foot of the bed
• custom bedcoverings in soothing blues
• wonderful bed linens, extra pillows
• carefully selected accessories (less is more)
• upholstered headboard for comfortable reading
• good bedside lighting and tables nearby
• privacy and light control with custom draperies
• a comfy place to sit and look at the view
• drawer and closet storage nearby
• artwork that complements the room setting

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) will partner once again this October to observe National Window Covering Safety Month. This year’s campaign will mark the sixth-annual observance.

According to information provided by the CPSC, since 1990 approximately 200 infants and young children have died from accidentally strangling in window cords. This month-long, nationwide campaign is designed to increase consumer awareness of potential window-cord hazards, as well as to urge parents and caregivers of young children to only use cordless window products in young children’s bedrooms and play areas and to replace all window coverings in the home made before 2001 with today’s safer products.

To invoke industry-wide participation, the “Make the Right Choice, KIDS…CORDS…CAUTION” safety slogan will be the theme for the promotional campaign. In addition, the official National Window Covering Safety Month campaign logo, depicting a child’s hand grabbing the cords of a window blind, will be used.
