2010 Envision Design Competition
Linda H. Bassert of Masterworks has been recognized again for outstanding design, winning second place in the 2010 Envision Design Competition, sponsored by Window Fashion Vision Magazine. Masterworks was honored in the award category of Whole-Room Integration, the only interior design category given. This was Masterworks’ second entry in this competition and second Envision Award win, having also entered and won in 2008.

Masterworks’ award-winning entry was a dining room inspired by a treasured remnant of vintage silk in the vibrant colors of turquoise, green, and purple, which had belonged to the client’s mother. The client desired a warm and gracious area for entertaining, a room where guests would want to linger around the dining table. The room needed to be elegant enough for special occasions, and relaxed enough for spontaneous gatherings. The room included additional works of art purchased to complement the framed silk, and a combination of existing and new furnishings. The original window treatment design was inspired by a dress in Threads magazine. The dramatic transformation of this room, from start to finish, may be seen in the photo gallery below, and also on the Custom Window Treatment Portfolio Page.
