The Thomas Kinkade Company Partners with Blinds.com for New Drapery Line

Blinds.com offers the exclusive Thomas Kinkade drapery line. It features beautiful draperies, valances, and fabric shades in fabrics inspired by the artwork of Thomas Kinkade.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 22, 2007 -- The Thomas Kinkade Company announced today that it has partnered with Blinds.com to create their premium custom drapery collection. This hand-picked line of fabrics and drapery styles will allow homeowners to echo the vibrant, yet calming, style of Thomas Kinkade paintings in draperies, valances and fabric shades. These can be seen online at http://www.Blinds.com/draperies.

"When I create my paintings, I always think of how this would look in a home," stated Thomas Kinkade. "I try and use my artwork as a silent messenger to provide hope, comfort and a sense of peace," added the artist.

Inspired by Thomas Kinkade's paintings, the window treatments are organized into Manor House, Cottage and Cabin, and City patterns. "With our collection of fine drapes, your home will be lit with a warm glow that says 'welcome home'," stated Linda Mariano, Vice President of Licensing and Marketing for the Thomas Kinkade Company. The patterns and fabrics coordinate with styles that would be found in the idyllic homes of Thomas Kinkade paintings. "We wanted to provide homeowners with another option when decorating their home in the Thomas Kinkade style and we believe that Blinds.com is another enhancement to the Thomas Kinkade brand," later added Mariano.

"Thomas Kinkade paintings inspire people to create their own places of refuge, and this line allows homeowners to do just that with other areas of their home" said Daniel Cotlar, Chief Marketing Officer for Blinds.com. Cotlar added that Thomas Kinkade's reputation as the Painter of Light ™ was a strong factor in the partnership. "Thomas Kinkade has an exceptional talent for capturing light and using it to inspire, and this is reflected in the vivid patterns and textures designed to complement our other window coverings."

In celebration of the holidays and this exclusive design partnership, customers purchasing $595 in Blinds.com branded window treatments will receive a time-limited coupon for a free drapery product from the new Thomas Kinkade Drapery Collection.
