Introducing our Member of the Month...Sharon Coppede!



Custom Wind
ow Treatments, Inc. is a "to the trade" drapery workroom specializing in hard to handle fabrics, English bump interlining, bedding and soft furnishings. In their 2500 sq. ft. workroom in the Mint Hill section of Charlotte, NC, with 10 members on staff, CWT can make your dream window design come to life. Window seat cushions with foam or down inserts, pillows, bedding, difficult top treatments, they have done them all.





They also provide woven woods, blinds and shutters. And custom wood hardware in a variety of sizes and finishes including gold leaf, silver leaf, tortoise she
ll, bamboo, stained, and painted and glazed, to name a few.


Sharon Coppede, owner, has been in the soft furnishings business for 29 years first starting in Plymouth, Mass. in 1982. Working out of her home while the children
napped or after bedtime, she allowed her business to grow as her children grew.


As her family moved from state to state due to her husband's business, Sharon started again in each new location, learning more and more about the business of window treatments. By the time she got to Charlotte, the children were old enough for Sharon to open up a commercial workroom and expand to where Custom Window Treatments, Inc. is today.
