Resources
Studio:
Our studio is designed to provide examples of retail goods we are able to acquire for our clients. We have a small on-site inventory of case goods (tables and consoles), upholstered furniture, lamps and chandeliers, prints, mirrors, area rugs and accessories.
Suppliers/Samples:
We maintain a large library consisting of thousands of samples and hundreds of catalogs.
Our working design studio is located in the midst of this library and creatively utilizes our samples of fabric, trim, wallpaper, carpet and area rugs, hardware and wood finishes. This large invetment is maintained for the benefit of our clients and the Impressions of Fredericksburg design staff.
Contractors:
We install most of what we sell utilizing the highest quality local contractors and tradesmen. Occassionally, a client will arrange installation on their own, but our sub-contractors respond to our project management direction all according to our clients' needs.
We make use of:
- fabric/trim wholesalers
- seamstresses
- upholsterers
- paper hangers
- painters
- carpet installers
- tile layers
- window treatment installers
- electricians and plumbers
