Kristen Patrenina Story

Tall windows are an amazing focal point in any room…but they can be daunting to dress! Kristen Patrenina says, “We have floor to ceiling high windows in our living room and dining room. I knew they would be difficult to fit with curtains…and I was clueless how to begin. Teresa Staley, a faux painter I use, highly recommended Caron Lopez of Grand Windows and Interiors…and I’m so glad I gave her a call.”

In the Grand Windows and Interiors showroom you’ll find more than 5,000 square feet with over 20,000 gorgeous fabrics, trims, window treatments, and hardware from more than fifty different quality suppliers…but you won’t be overwhelmed. Designer Caron Lopez and her husband Candelario have created an amazing one-stop design hub with everything and everyone needed to bring your design to life, including guidance from experts like Teresa Staley with whom Caron often works in synchronicity! Kristen says, “Caron brought out books of samples and designs, and she also took a look around my house.

She’s really gifted at reading preferences in colors, textures, and style, so her recommendations were tailored to my personal taste. I picked out two or three fabrics and then she walked me through a book of drapery patterns. All the little finishing touches from buttons to hooks were made easy with her advice. You can tell how much Caron enjoys what she does and it makes the entire experience wonderful.”

“When the time came for installation, her husband Cande, their daughter and son, the whole family came out. The valence was extremely heavy and had to be installed twenty feet off the ground, but they did it quickly, efficiently and with good humor. They’re a lovely family!”

“Sometimes you need a professional who can take your hand, walk you through the choices, and lead you in the right direction. I’m extremely pleased with the quality of the window treatments I chose. Everyone who comes in remarks on them and I’ve had so many compliments! I highly recommend Grand Windows and Interiors!”
