Complicated? You Betcha!

When perusing through your latest edition of Architectural Digest, have you ever thought about what it took to get such a beautifully decorated home? Take a sneak peek behind-the-scenes at an unusually complicated installation we completed last week.


Here are a few details, pictures and a couple video snippets -

• A curved fabric shade!
  
• Two fabric shades over 15' wide and motorized!
• A curved shade to match! (Do you know how hard that one was?)
• All shades line up perfectly with each other - even the one that's curved.
• Two very large cornice boxes. One even starts out straight then curves to follow the wall. And it's all in one piece! (That one was a monster!)

Intricate electrical wiring by one of the installers and he's wearing sunglasses!

Getting the one-piece, curved cornice box into the house was a bear!




After much trepidation, they got the curved cornice box up. I made sure the installers washed their hands before touching this nice white cornice box. Also note the use of gloves to make sure it didn't get any smudge marks.


What you can't see very well is the use of furniture pads on the floor. This is a standard on our installations. It insures the floor doesn't get dirty or damaged. We go above and beyond not to disturb our client's home any more than necessary while we are there. Not everyone provides this.

And here's the completed project. Quiet motors. Smooth running. No hiccups, stops or stalls. The shades end at the right place at the floor.

My customer was so happy with the project, he gave us a video testimonial. He was nervous, but did a great job! Thanks Sam!

Despite this project's complexities, it was installed in one afternoon! There were no fixes, repairs, re-makes or re-do's! All as a result of meticulous attention to detail, careful planning and working with an experienced window treatment specialist. It makes all the difference in the world.
