The Local Blind Lady

Anna-Jane Dalton (AJ) has an extensive history working in creative fields, with a natural ability to just put things together. A people person who simply adores working with clients to help them achieve the look they want in their home - through her design consultancy and The Local Blind Lady, or through a plate of food, featuring her award winning food products at ConjurupFood. Detecting a gap in the market for a more personalised, communicative approach within the window furnishing arena AJ has recently opened The Local Blind Lady. Her “Fresh eyes, new look” slogan is taking a wholistic approach, “It’s not just about covering the window, says AJ. It is about taking a brief, working to achieve a look that is fit for purpose, considering many aspects of the client’s home and lifestyle, being thoughtful to the environment, the design style and budget, and, most importantly, being there for the whole process. It isn’t a case of saying what do you want? Measuring and quoting”. Having worked in the furnishing business for 20 years, AJ finds the satisfaction of being able to help people achieve the best they can in their homes is extremely rewarding – the 5 star reviews achieved since establishing The Local Blind Lady are testament to the amount of joy this work gives the creator and the client. “AJ’s ability to listen to my needs and interpret my requirements, provide outstanding recommendations, accommodate my budget, and manage my project has been amazing. She is so hands on and professional.” Jacqui Daley, client in Islington, Newcastle. AJ says, “We take pride in our communication, honesty, timely management of orders and follow up with the client. I guess as a designer it’s a natural desire to see the project finished. And our aim is to continue work with clients as projects are required into their future.”
