NEWS - NETWORKING WITH mICHAEL PAYNE

Interior designer Michael Payne, host of HGTV’s “Designing for the Sexes” greets Alpharetta decorator Sarah Youngblood at a trade show held recently in Washington, DC. Ms. Youngblood is a certified window fashions specialist and the owner of Youngblood Interiors of Alpharetta . Her company is part of the Exciting Windows! network, a national brand of custom shop-at- home service - which has been endorsed by Mr. Payne.

As a ‘mediator’ in helping men and women solve their decorating dilemmas on his show, Payne’s role with Exciting Windows! reflects his own design approach -- to promote the network’s philosophy of excellent customer service by listening to clients’ needs, respecting budgets, providing solutions and delivering beautiful finished products.

Ms. Youngblood attended the Expo to network with the country’s top professionals in the interior design field to learn about the latest trends in decorating, sales and service of window fashions. “Every year I make this conference a priority,” she said. “The depth of knowledge and information presented gives me new tools to better serve my customers.” Ms. Youngblood’s service provides decorative solutions for all types of window treatments – from shades, blinds and shutters to draperies and sophisticated top treatments, as well as upholstery, bedding and pillows. Her custom window displays can be seen in The Faux House Design Studio at 254 North Main Street in Alpharetta.
