When Pam Dawes and Elaine Mitchell met
each other 12 years ago they discovered they have many things in common,
chiefly they both have an insatiable passion for fabric and home furnishings. Pam
and Elaine both began their businesses at about the same time and each had
their own drapery workroom in their homes.
Their business relationship
strengthened over the years, and 4 years ago they decided to form a partnership
and expand business. They moved their workroom to a public.
In March 2008, Interior Couture of the
Carolinas, Inc. was born. The business
is located on Providence Road between Weddington and Waxhaw. The “shop” has a selection room where
customers can shop for fabrics, trim, hardware, blinds, and shutters, and
custom furniture. The showroom has
samples of window treatments and furniture.
The “magic” happens in the back of the shop where their workroom is
located. All custom treatments are
created in this space. Pam and Elaine agree
they want to focus on quality, service,
and customer relationships. Clients are split almost evenly between
designers and home owners. Pam and
Elaine use their over 40 years of combined experience to help guide home owners
in choosing style, color and fabrics for their home décor projects. They also use their expertise as window
treatment designers to be a part of the design team for their designer clients. No job is too large or too small for
Interior Couture.
In February 2012 their work
was featured on the cover of House Beautiful and in the feature article. The house is in the Myers Park area of
Charlotte and the interiors were designed by NYC designer Lindsey Coral
Harper.
Using bold color and mixing textures create Bandings are used on the leading edge and
spaces that are fresh, young, and vibrant. bottom of draperies. Pillows finish the look.
The same house was featured in
an article in the June issue of Charlotte Urban Home Magazine, (urbanhomemagazine.com). Pam and
Elaine recently completed a house with Lindsey Coral Harper in Pittsburg,
PA. Additionally, they worked on a room
in a designer house in Atlanta, and their work can be seen in the current issue
of Atlanta
Homes and Lifestyle, (www.atlantahomesmag.com).
