Wonderful Web I just opened your Web site today (www.dwcdesignet.com). More or less as a hobby I have been doing window treatments out of my home for a couple of years. However I am ready to do it more as a business. Your Web site is wonderful! It has practical and very helpful information. Most of the information I have run across on the Internet hasn't been anything new for me. Your Web site is different. Thank you! Robin Philpot Robin's Windows via e-mail

Editor's reply: Thank you for the great review, and best of luck on making the great leap into business that you are contemplating. Visitors to DWCdesigNet.com will see a fully redesigned Web page, updated with new colors, new graphics and a few new features that make better use of the interactivity the Internet makes possible. Beyond the new look, however, lies the full depth of helpful features and articles Draperies & Window Coverings has always provided. As we enter our fourth year of subscription-free on-line access, even more new programs are being planned. Click here to voice your opinion about DWCdesigNET's new look!

Back to School Please, please, please. To describe the photograph ("Portfolio: The Greens of Summer," D&WC, June 1998) as Neo-classic is inexcusable. What you have are intended to be Mexican colonial pieces in that room: headboard, angel, tin lamp-the whole room is simple, clean and rustic. You are not educating anyone with your photographic descriptions. Shirley A. Roggen Interior Designer Portland, OR

Editor's reply: We goofed! There's no point in trying to get around it. While the room's clean simplicity might be seen as a Neo-classic response to previous design traditions the details you mention make trying to place it into that style too much of a stretch. A little refresher course may do us some good. Thanks for keeping us on our toes.
