To make it a little easier to see them all, we put them on one Beauty View-tiful page. We hope you enjoyed our Beauti-Vue miniseries as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you!

    Thank you for your article. I was looking for something different for my bedroom windows and opted to use Beauti Vue. I am so glad I did! Joy was a delight to work with and the woven woods blinds in a sunny yellow pattern was just what my Florida home needed. I love the uniqueness and the ability to open them each day and bring the outdoors in! Thank you!

    Thank you so very much for featuring the Beauti-Vue story. I enjoyed it very much! I recently received the swag lamp & beaded doorway I ordered & am waiting to put them up in my soon to be 1970’s tiki bar basement. I had a wonderful time chatting with Stormy & Joy while ordering, & hope to order more beaded curtains for the windows. These were perfect & just what I was looking for in the basement. Thank you Pam & Kate for all the help I have received throughout the years with my mid century home.
