Cathi Lloyd, who owns the Decorating Den Interiors franchise in St John, won a prize for a dramatic room makeover in the dining room category at Decorating Den Interiors’ 53rd annual conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Her window treatment included antique silver faux iron designs overlaid on charcoal custom cornices, textured and embellished sheers and motorized silhouettes controlled by smart home tech.
