Retreat and Bungalow the New Collection from Barclay Butera.
With temperatures around the country on the wrong side of zero for most of the week, now is the perfect time to begin planning a getaway somewhere warm, even if only in our minds. The latest collections from designer Barclay Butera are here in the nick of time to help make that planning a reality, and to bring a bit of the vacation mentality into any space.
“Although I have had little time for vacations these days, my travel in both world class hotels and simple Americana-type quiet retreats really got the juices flowing,†Barclay said about his inspiration for the collections, “That and fashion; my wardrobe for jaunts to the Hamptons, Miami and Santa Barbara were a great spring board for the color palettes and fabric textures.”
Sounds fabulous, doesn’t it? The collections, called Bungalow and Retreat – both released last month to Kravet showrooms nationwide – capture two sides of the vacation spirit. The fabrics designed for Retreat, including sheers and textures, are all rendered in a washed, easy palette of soft, calm neutrals. This facet of the collection is designed to offer a relaxing and calming escape from the chaos of daily life. Conjuring the electricity and energy of a chic, mod resort, the fabrics in Bungalow feature a whimsical and explosive color palette realized through fearless and fresh designs.
Barclay is best known for creating rooms and homes that are quintessentially all-American with a West Coast twist. “My clients do not own museum-type houses; they live in their homes, so my designs are elegant for sure but comfortable and inviting as well,” Barclay said, “Many clients are now requesting designs for second, third and fourth homes, and they are looking for a more casual, relaxed and fun element in their hideaways. It pushes me and allows for a more casual design sensibility in my projects. As a result, the collections are less formal, less serious, but still right in line with my brand and design sensibility.”
The photos show the two collections, in addition to the display podium in the Kravet showroom at the D&D Building in New York City. The podium conjures a relaxing, rustic and elegant mountain lodge atmosphere, created using a new color for Barclay’s line, the shades of burgundy/ rust seen in the images, as the starting point for the design. In addition to the fabrics, furniture and carpet, all available through Kravet, the display features Barclay’s mirrors for Mirror Image, lighting for Bradburn and accessories for Zodax.

JCW at Student Career Day!
We are always excited to have students and classes come in from the local design schools to meet us, tour our library and workroom, and learn more about the custom furniture process. We are happy to answer questions- we know that window treatments especially can get tricky with yardage, hardware, and motorization, so we are here to help!
Judy’s Custom Workroom recently participated in ASID Orange 
County’s Student Career Day at the 
Laguna Design Center. We partnered up 
with Kravet to give group presentations 
throughout the day, about how to work hand
in hand with a custom workroom. There were about 200 students who from all over OC, so it was great to meet tomorrow’s talent!
Kravet Showroom Visit
While visiting the Laguna Design Center for their Spring Market Day, we made sure to stop by Kravet. We love their fabrics and enjoy working with them! They had Judy’s Custom Workroom do some drapery for their showroom recently and we thought we would take a look at it installed!
This fresh fabric is Lee Jofa embroidered linen “Nolita- Brass/Wheat” lined with Kravet linen “24575-1”.
We also love the Kravet Couture fabric on the pillows: “Main Focus- Citrus”
The drapery hardware is a part of Kravet’s Barabara Barry Indochine collection pictured below. The collection comes in 6 different finishes. We used the “Soft Silver” with “Secret Key” finials and “Perfect Circle” rings.
Here are a few more pictures of what Kravet has to offer for drapery hardware. They have many great options for traditional and contemporary treatments.
And of course while we were there we had to admire the new colorful Windsor Smith collection…
…and oh so bright Lee Jofa Lilly Pullitzer fabrics!
Thank you Kravet! We look forward to doing more work for your showroom in the future.

MicroSeal
It’s that time of the year, the holiday rush. Everyone wants their homes done in time for holiday parties, out of town guests, and family gatherings.  As it can be a bit stressful, we love making our clients happy and seeing their excitement when we complete their projects. We just came back from an install of a beautiful family room.
Many photos to come, but here is a sneak peak of 2 chairs in the room that we made here at Judy’s Custom Workroom. We LOVE this ikat fabric. It is Kravet: Bansuri – 515. The wood frames we stained in “driftwood” stain. Â The chairs turned out wonderfully and our client was very excited to have a fresh new family room in time for Christmas.
Above is TJ Chamberlein from MicroSeal treating our furniture.

Here is another chair we reupholstered with the same fabric.
Before the country wingback garden chair was covered in a traditional small check. We loved the detail in the wood frame and wanted to give it a fresh new look. We reupholstered it with this fun ikat fabric and added silver nail heads for a contemporary touch.
