Tea Cake’s Custom

Esther artfully, and perfectly, constructed six relaxed Roman shades. The shades also had trim. She meticulously measures every nook and cranny around your windows. The window molding in my house goes straight to the ceiling. I was over-​joyed to find the professional custom designer, Esther, who was up to the task of knowing how to do this. For years I thought Romans were not an option.
She is punctual, communicative, honest, affable, and very honest. I highly recommend!
I will add pictures one of these days.

Three cheers for Tea Cakes Custom! Esther just made 3 sets of beautiful custom Roman shades for my master bedroom and 1 set of adorable curtains for my son’s room, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Not only are they beautiful to the eye, they are highly functional, as the blackout lining truly blocks out all light. I’ve never had blackout shades before, and it’s remarkable. I feel like I could sleep until noon and not even notice. :) I am having a hard time getting a photograph that does justice to my new shades, but when I do, I will post them here.
Added bonus: Esther is super sweet. Give her a call — you won’t regret it!

Esther just finished relining the curtains in our living room and did a fantastic job. They were badly damaged by the sun, but I loved the material and didn’t want to scrap them and start over. Esther was able to cut off the damaged part and reline and finish them so that they looked as good as new!
She was very quick and efficient, great attention to detail and so easy to work with and reasonably priced. I would turn to her again without question for any other window treatment needs, and I would recommend her without reservation.

Esther just completed a set of traditional silk curtains for my living room and I couldn’t be happier. The curtains completely transform the room, and yet Esther was able to work with the existing hardware that was in place from the previous curtains bc I didn’t want to harm the walls. Esther is a meticulous professional and a delight to work with. I can’t wait to work with her again on future projects!

We have been remodeling our place for a year and out of the many many contractors and designers we have worked with, Esther is one of the very best (and I would say one of the few we would give 5 stars). I specifically wanted custom roman shades with blackout fabric lining. Her other 2 reviews raved about them and since I knew I would be getting her and not just anyone working at a shop (you never know who you get and the person you end up getting makes all the difference in the world). Then when I contacted her, she was exceptionally responsive on both phone and email (trust me… it is a headache even getting someone to call you back a lot of the time) throughout the whole process. We called her at odd hours too as we were going to fabric stores to choose fabrics and wanted to run our choices by her to see if these were viable fabrics. Not only did she walk us through patiently what our options were, we got a firm bid and the results were on time and gorgeous. She arranged for us to get a window expert to hang up the super heavy and large Roman Shades (we were so surprised bc dealing with other contractors, we have had to find the other specialists to do the jobs that needed to be coordinated with their work) and actually was surprised when I said I would arrange it (I just assumed I would have to do the research, find an expert, interview him/​her, and coordinate timing). I was shocked when she said she’d do that and boom — lots of to-do’s just fell off my plate!
Esther coordinated it perfectly and guess who is sleeping super well now… yep, me. Logging 10+ hours on the weekends. Oh, and pricing is completely reasonable. We paid a ton for sub par drapes from Pottery Barn for another room and had a lot of issues with those (which is another story). Well done Esther — for gorgeous custom roman blackout shades, superb communication, on time delivery and completion and just making it SO easy!!!

My wife and I were a little hesitant to try this up and coming superstar of window treatments, but after having met with Esther, the owner of Tea Cake’s Custom, all of our concerns were put to rest.
Having custom drapes made for your windows is a big undertaking… there’s a lot to consider, and if you’re not careful, it can cost you a bundle. Thankfully Esther knows what she’s doing. She talked to us at length about what we wanted, what our options were, and what we could expect. She was never, ever pushy, and truly wanted us to have the curtains of our dreams.
We had Esther create window treatments for 7 of our windows, of varying sizes and styles, including blackout curtains for the bedroom. Simply put, she exceeded our expectations. The curtains fit perfectly, the early morning sun doesn’t stand a chance of getting through, and we’re both sleeping better than ever.
It was a pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend her for all your window treatements.
