One Saturday when I was walking with my young niece down Laurel Street, I stopped into Sterling Interiors and asked for a few recommendations for my extremely large Living room and dining room windows.
The owner didn't mind that my 4 year old niece read through some of her design magazines while we talked -- in fact she pointed out a really colorfull chair for her to sit on.
She gave me several great ideas, and I eventually purchased a set of custom made shades from her. I never felt pressured - in fact I really felt that she was concerned that we find the best possible solution so that I would love to walk into my rooms!
