A Drapery Hardware Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the warehouse,


production was stirring, meeting install dates for every house.


The embellished stockings were hung by the chimney with care,




Custom Cast Window Treatment by Finestra


In hopes that the installer soon would be there;



Custom painted Finials by Finestra


The children were nestled all snug under their finial topped beds,




While visions of multi-colored tassels danced in their heads,

And Mama in her gray gown (because gray is the new black) and I in my cap,

Had just settled down from a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn their arose such a clattter,



Upholstered Headboard with Finestra finials and poles


I sprang from my upholstered bed to see what was the matter.

Finestra square pole treatment

Away to the window with decorative panels I flew like a flash,


Rowley Swing Door Treatment with Finestra Button Borders

Opened the swing-door treatment and threw up the sash.



The Finestra Moon hold back on the breast of a new-fallen snow

Gave lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a workroom of elves on a sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be the installer, Nick.


Ragsdale Collection Eagle Finial

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted and called them by name;

"Now Designer! now Seamstress! now Upholsterer, and Vixen!
On, Fabricator! on, Architect! on, Artist and Blitzen!

In between the top of the molding! to the top of the wall!


Now, install away! install away! install away all!"
