The Decorating Store at Terminal Mill Ends

The Decorating Store at Terminal Mill Ends We provide Window Treatments, Reupholstery and Refinishing, Slipcovers and Cushions, Blinds, Shades, Ours is a true love story about family and fabric.

In 1949, Len (known to all as "Alex") and Greta Alexander began selling the "ends," or remnants, of large bolts of home textile fabrics and dress goods procured through their brother-in-law via a shipping terminal in Paterson, NJ. They opened their own business, Terminal Mill Ends, in the "country" - then "faraway" Union. Their daughter Nina joined them in 1978 and established a focus on interior

design. Today, we are the Decorating Store at Terminal Mill Ends - a nod to the past in our name, with eyes solidly on the future. Under the leadership of Nina's husband, Ernie Spinelli, the location moved to Mountainside with a fresh look and expanded offerings in home décor - furniture, carpet, rugs and accessories. But the legacy of the Alexander family remains - the warmth and helpful atmosphere created all those years ago. Family and fabric - still together after all these years!

Another window from a house we’ve worked on and shared lately. This home was recently renovated in a significant way and the homeowners wanted to add draperies for privacy and to soften the lines.

Loving the beautiful linen print fabric from .harris.home — and as time goes on, the natural wrinkling of the linen will only add to look.

This guest room (swipe 👉 for the original look) needed an update. So we did what we do.

First off we removed the built-in furniture, then with all the newfound space, we repainted the walls a neutral green—the path to a modern, beautiful guest suite suddenly came to light.

Lastly we added a cornice with hand-painted and a blackout shade behind it because what’s a beautiful guest room if those guests can’t get a good night’s sleep?

We love a good challenge and this vintage window wasn’t shy. With radiators directly below and the different shape atop the windows, we could only install in certain areas.

Custom French hardware from paired with a beautiful print fabric from came together to form a wonderful solution.

Draperies aren’t always the statement in the room—especially when they’re for a room shared by young sisters.

Our customer wanted privacy for her daughters while still allowing natural light to flow. So we settled on this sheer fabric with just enough design in the geometric pattern.

Sometimes in design, the choices and changes aren’t always sweeping in nature.

Working with , the directive was to give her parent’s chairs an update while staying in the same color palette. This cut velvet from .harris.home does the trick, keeping the look similar while modernizing the chairs.

This mudroom cushion was designed so the customer could flip it as needed. Normally, we’d match the border to the top of the cushion—but that wouldn’t work here. So instead we ran the border sideways so it always looks right, no matter which way it’s flipped. Custom, functionable design with .

We helped give an already modern dining room extra oomph by using this fabric for the draperies with hardware.

For an extra layer of elegance, we specified a two-fingered pinch pleat and made them with enough fullness to give the whole thing a more sumptuous look.
