Accessories such as custom bedding, headboards, throw pillows, and reupholstery were added to our services to complete room projects successfully.

Meet the Business Owner

Larry S.

Business Owner

Back in the ‘70s, Larry Spielholz, Cum Laude graduate of the SUNY Buffalo School of Accounting, decided that he needed to devote his life to building something important rather than keeping records for others who did. A young man in his twenties, using his savings and taking short-​term loans from close friends and family, Larry purchased a «mom and pop» housewares store in Whitestone, New York. With the advent of vertical blinds, Larry immediately recognized that the world of window treatments was evolving rapidly. In addition, he saw that homes and businesses could be enhanced by combining the layering of hard window treatments with draperies and valances, and ultimately streamlining the controls with motorization. Larry’s dedication to the satisfaction of his clients and to provide superior products and services are his main goal.
