Curtain Call
I dropped in for coffee at Curtain Call, on Schotlandstraat 66, in front of Romar Trading. My dining room chairs have been talking to me, come on woman, we need new fabric, new stuffing, nuf already, how ‘bout the tiniest refresh?
The surprising store definitely offers visitors a delightful experience, from delicious coffee with cookies, down to the incredible selection of window treatments, fabrics, and beddings.
Against Aruba’s often boring business landscape, this is not your usual store, this is a super cute, creative and colorful boutique designed to serve you, and your window, bed and sofa needs.
You have no use for any of these? Never mind, just drop in for a visit, the bold colors, the whimsical wall paper, the recycled knickknacks and the company of Elsje, Agnes, and Zchajaira, is enough to keep you informed and entertained about the subject of hard and soft treatments for windows.
Here they customize everything. Once you make a down payment and order, the countdown begins and before long your home is upgraded with paper, wood, faux-wood, bamboo, aluminum or fabric shades, in every style and color, some don’t even require drilling, they just snap into place. Some are reversible, upside down, and downside up, blackout, or see-though, or made out of fiberglass fabric, most importantly many kinds of solar shades are available, to block out the sun. Then they also have shutters, in every style and color, and a forest of fabric rolls, but I ran out of steam.
The business by Eljse Lacle started in 2007, checking into a corner at the now defunct Teak House. It then went on to develop a substantial private-client following. Later on, the showroom resided for a while at the same Schotlandstraat address, upstairs. It recently moved downstairs, into the fun, and spacious atelier, reflecting Elsje’s Technicolor taste and joyful personality.
I found a piece on Elsje’s Facebook that explains it all:
