When the Chef first opened restaurant number one, I was the one that everyone chose to make the curtains for the windows. Now, as nice as it was that everyone thought of me, it was a very nerve racking experience! I’m not one that feels a lot of confidence in my own handiwork. They purchased a really heavy, designer textile that was fine–I would have chosen something a little lighter weight, but I made up for it with little “Piggy” buttons. I know–you are all wondering who in the world wants piggy buttons. But you have to remember this was a barbecue joint specializing in RIBS!! So the pigs were perfect! When restaurant number two came along, I was thinking of using more of a discount brocade upholstery fabric. This restaurant was bigger than the first one, and full service. There’s a bar area as well as a private dining room–it’s just bigger and a little fancier than the first one. The textiles that were chosen for the new restaurant were perfect, and everything works together. Piggy buttons just wouldn’t have matched the atmosphere in the new restaurant–but they really are cute!!
