    True professional throughout the process. She helped me with all my questions and fabric selection. When I received the final product I was overjoyed! Beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail

    When Ahna sent my shipping information, I was so excited to receive my valances. Upon opening the packages, I found the valances were extremely well packed and her packing method reduces wrinkling during shipping. These valances are absolutely stunning! Her workmanship is impeccable and her attention to detail is exceptional. I have four windows in my dining room, two are identical in size, and the other two same in size. The center point of each valance matches perfectly. What a beautiful job, Ahna. Thank you so much for your very professional workmanship. I admire them so much, (and everyone else who has seen them), thank you.

    Great work. Ahna was very easy to work with and delivered what she promised in a timely manner. I am very happy with my valences and would use her again.

    I love the valance that Ahna made for my guest room! She is so easy to work with--communication was always fast and clear. The valance is absolutely beautiful and was easy to install with the directions. It was less than half price of the local drapery store quote and could not be any more perfect. My interior designer was so impressed, she wants to recommend Ahna to her other clients! Thank you, Ahna. I will definitely use your services again.

    Ahna did an amazing job on our valances. We had her make 4 window valances and 1 for our sliding glass door.

    She had noticed that the material we had chosen might not be good for pressing to get the necessary creases and pleats in them and asked us to send her a sample so she could be sure it would work for us. We appreciated her thoroughness and knowledge in guiding us through the process. Once she confirmed that all was good with the material, we moved forward.

    She did a great job keeping us up to date on the status of our order. The valances were well made and packed with care. We've received lots of compliments on our new window treatments. The quality is great and we will be ordering more from her in the future.

About EasierThanIThought

Sales 553
On Etsy since 2011

Give your furnishings a facelift.

I never dreamed I would be doing something so satisfying and creative as a career. I thought I would be teaching middle school Language Arts for 25+ years.
My mother-in-law likes to remind me that when I married my husband and started my career as a teacher, I informed her, " I don't sew or cook, and I have no desire of doing either." Over fifteen years later, I’ve grown to be a decent cook and my occupation revolves around sewing daily. And I love it!!
After my daughter was born, I started sewing every single day. It became an outlet for my creativity after leaving the classroom behind to stay home with her full time. I sewed furiously during every naptime. Soon, a friend of mine suggested I start my own business sewing home decor items after completing a small project for her. Not long after, I decided to open an Etsy shop. I felt there was a void in the Etsy market for those buyers who liked to select their own fabrics instead of choosing from a handful of stock fabrics and pre-made items. My listings revolve around helping customers achieve a designer look using fabrics that inspire them.
As a business owner who offers a custom product, quality construction and fabrication is important to me. My 500 square foot in-home studio equipped with industrial machines and filled with professional materials is a testament to this. All of my products are made to the guidelines established by the Window Covering Association of America. I use quality drapery linings and carefully consider pattern placement for all fabrics used in custom orders. My dedication to continued education keeps me well versed in new techniques. This helps me design new window treatments that are on trend and installation friendly. It is my goal that you can confidently say ordering custom window treatments through me is, “easier than I thought.”
