Our Story
How a passion for beautiful windows grew into Oklahoma's most trusted custom drapery studio.
A Passion Born From a Simple Observation
It started with a question that wouldn't leave my mind: Why do we spend so much time decorating our walls, our floors, our furniture — and yet so often neglect our windows?
I noticed that in every home I visited, the windows felt like an afterthought. Generic blinds, mismatched curtains, windows that didn't quite fit. It seemed like such a missed opportunity. Windows are literally the eyes of a home — why wouldn't we want to dress them beautifully?
In 2008, I took a leap of faith. Armed with a sewing machine, a small collection of fabrics I'd gathered from travels around the world, and a whole lot of determination, Carol's Custom Drapery was born in our garage in Sentinel.
Fast forward to today: what started as a one-woman operation has grown into a full-service studio with a team of skilled artisans, designers, and installers. But our core philosophy remains exactly the same — every window deserves to be treated as a work of art.
