Sometimes our clients have a single window to make beautiful. Sometimes our clients have 39 windows to dress all at once! We love a challenge, and we were given one this year.
Preparation is the key to a challenge this size. Lots of time and planning were needed. There was an extra layer of timing since this job was 14 hours away. When you have a large job, there is a balancing act that takes place to keep other clients in production along the way and not just focus on one job for two months.
Along comes Carla, our workroom manager. She kept us organized and assigned the team projects for over two months for this client. And along the way, she kept regularly scheduled projects in production so our designers, clients and installer were able to stay on schedule. Carla takes ownership and personal responsibility in her professional and personal life. She multitasks when needed and sees the big picture which is invaluable.
When the time came for our road trip, Carla had lists and piles of draperies, shades and shutters. She had extra bags of supplies in case we had any installation emergency. Carla had everything labeled with rooms, sizes, ring counts etc. This allowed us to do our job with very little hassle. We finished installing a day early which allowed us to beat the snow storm home.
Thank you team for your beautiful work and thank you Carla, for being the best Workroom Manager.
