About

Hello, my name is Connie Valente, and I’m glad you are here.

My passion for interior design and luxurious textiles has a lifetime history! I've been sewing since I was ten when my mother taught me the basics. She guided me, and I discovered I had a gift—the art of creating.

When I moved to Europe for a job opportunity in my twenties, I lived in Switzerland and Italy for 20 years. Italian design, architecture, and incredible fabrics inspired me to study tailoring while residing in Como, Italy. I explored many silk shows and fabric mills and attended European Design Expos.

Intrigued by interior design styles and the possible options, I studied with many experts over the years to learn the industry protocol for Window Fashions and Soft furnishings. I studied at the Custom Home Furnishings Academy and have attended numerous courses at Trade shows around the Country.

I founded Creative Blinds & Decor in 2003, and I enjoy meeting with new and repeat customers daily to help them enhance their homes with functional window treatments and add a touch of elegance.

I am truly honored to have won multiple awards for two decades at the International Window Coverings Expo and to be recognized as an expert within the window fashion industry for my design work and creative ingenuity and artisan fabrications.

Working at what you love and helping others transform their environments brings me great joy!
