President's Message
Passion for Helping Others Fuels Success in Business and Customer Service
I have always had a passion for helping others, which began as a child when I shoveled a pathway on the sidewalk for my family and neighbors on a snowy day. This experience sparked my interest in business and customer service.
Throughout my career, I have sought out opportunities to serve others and provide for them, starting with my work at The Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island, Michigan. After graduating from college, I worked for The May Department Stores Company and eventually became one of the youngest Store Managers in the organization.
In 1996, I made a significant change in my career by joining Sunshine Drapery and Interior Fashions as a Sales Manager. It was in this role that I discovered my true passion for making customers happy and I enjoyed working with my decorating and customer service team every day. After 10 years of hard work and taking on more responsibility, the owners of Sunshine Drapery, Les and Ruth Finkelstein, named me President of the company. In 2008, I decided to become a sole owner and continue my passion for sales and service through Sunshine Drapery by purchasing the company.
Today, Sunshine Drapery has been in business for over 50 years, serving residential and commercial businesses in Missouri and Illinois. My team and I are committed to providing our customers with the best possible experience and top-quality products. We strive to build a strong, focused, and engaging corporate culture and carefully select team members and vendors who share our values and goals. We have received many positive reviews from satisfied customers, and we invite you to learn more about their experiences by browsing our website. At Sunshine Drapery, we are dedicated to excellence in everything we do.
Come see for yourself the difference that our commitment to excellence can make. “Experience the Difference” with Sunshine Drapery.

Good afternoon, Bruce –
I hope this email finds you well.
I would love to complete a review about my experience with Sunshine Drapery, but before I do so, can you look to see the names of our installers? I am disappointed in myself that I did not write down their names. 3 gentlemen came to my home last Wednesday for installation.
I am beyond thrilled with my experience from start to finish. I walked into your store (Sunset Hills) and was met with a smiling face who spoke with me in great detail about my project showing me book after book of ideas, patterns and materials. She even allowed me to check-out books to view the samples in my home. She worked with my busy schedule to find me the perfect designer to come to my home. **I wish I would have gotten her name as well**
Catherine (designer) was absolutely amazing to work with and quickly figured out my style and taste. While I enjoy nice things, I do not have any decorating sense to put everything together, nor pick out colors/patterns/material that will mesh well within my home. Catherine asked about my vision and style before going from room to room with me, listening to my likes and dislikes about each. After learning about me, she used her fantastic skills to help me pick out the perfect treatments for each room (shutters, sheers and panels/linens). Her expertise, creativity and design innovation has completely transformed my home into a warm and inviting space. Catherine put me in contact with Sheila who walked me through scheduling the installation. Sheila was wonderful to work with and made the scheduling process seamless. Her great customer service is appreciated.
I already had a great experience from my initial walk-in to the store, then with design and scheduling and continued to be impressed with installation. 3 gentlemen were scheduled for my installation. All 3 were friendly, respectful and professional. They treated my home and space as if it were their own and, in my opinion, went above and beyond paying attention to even the smallest of details (minuscule things that I would not have noticed or even considered).
To cap off a great experience, I have received follow-up calls and/or text from you and your team making sure I am satisfied.
Needless to say, I am now a fan. I will certainly use Sunshine Drapery again in the future, as well as tell my friends and family.
Thank you, and please extend my thanks to your team!

I use Sunshine for all my window dressings. They are stellar from sales to install... Perfect example of excellence in how a company should take care of your needs. The products they provide are exceptional quality. If you treasure in how you are cared for, choose Sunshine. They have earned my five stars.

The first appointment with the designer was made to fit my schedule. She was punctual, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She didn’t try to oversell me, which I appreciated. While she was at my home, she gave me several good tips to help us when we list our home for sale. The window treatment was delivered on time, and installation was quick and beautifully.
Lynne
We had a designer come out to help us with custom bedding, throw pillows and 3 small upholstery projects. She was great - patient and helped us come up with ideas and helped us make sure everything would work. When we received the items, we were even more happy! All the custom pieces fit perfectly and pulled the room together in a way we could never have imagined on our own.
Subie
Every bit of our experience was excellent. The designer came to our home and helped us with style of blinds and color. We had priced several other stores and the price was better for the same products. Since the Hunter-Douglas blinds have been up in our bedroom, we are no longer getting up at 5:30 am with the sunrise. They are functional and beautiful.
Scott & Andrea
I fully appreciate the attention, courtesy, professionalism and kindness throughout two different projects. Not only was my designer receptive to my expectations, she presented wonderful ideas and candid critiques to ensure that the projects went smoothly and captured my aesthetic vision.
Vita
I used Sunshine Drapery for all of the window treatments of my new house. They installed plantation shutters and will soon be installing the remainder of the shades and curtains. Everyone I have interacted with was very pleasant and helpful. The designer was wonderful. The in home consultation was thorough... I love the way my house looks and I think you will too!
Katelin
I have been a customer since 2010. They are the best in the business. It has been a pleasure to work with the designer and the installer. You pay for what you get in life and I would highly recommend this company for your interior windows. Our home looks like a showplace because of working with Sunshine Drapery.
Tyler
The decorator helped me design custom drapes in my combined kitchen/living room area, and custom crescent shaped valances for my great room. ...I have to say, she is the most fun person to work with! Fun to chat with, knowledgeable, flexible, detailed, and, oh, so, thorough. She was patient when I was having a hard time deciding, she was conscientious about our budget, as well, and, I really appreciated that. I loved working with her, and am enjoying our new window treatments!
