Studio Vero: A Custom Textile Palette

Each morning, when Veronique Waldron opens the doors to Studio Vero, it’s an invitation to create. Surrounded by swatches of colors and textures in a tour of fine textiles from around the world, anything is possible. Custom creativity is the goal at her full-service design and fabrication studio of seven years. Veronique will lead you to an atmosphere whether luxurious or casual chic.  Her client’s projects are guided from imagination to installation coming from Veronique’s 25-plus years of design experience plus an expert in-house seamstress. Veronique’s inspiration comes from her childhood in Belgium, learning to sew with her mother, and by meeting international textile designers she admires such as Tricia Guild, Sherri Donghia and Barbara Barry who encouraged her to pursue her design ambition which she brought to Central Oregon from the world at large.. “People ask, ‘Can I do this?’ and I answer, ‘Yes, you can create anything that will bring pleasure to you.” The textiles at Studio Vero represent talented fabric designers such as Anna French with Thibaut, Designers Guild, Libeco, Schumacher, Kerry Joyce and many more. “Life is too short not to live with colors and timeless touches,” says Veronique, adding a, “Merci!”
