Framing a beautiful Great Bay View

When you have views that are incredible and ever changing with the seasons and the times of day, you build a room to complement those views. we were honored to recently help these clients complete this stunning project. My only regret is that our poor photography does not do justice to the room, theview or the treatments we created.

These valences were a challenge due to the curved walls and the interescting staircase. Yes, we were somewhat nervous, but very pleased when everything fit perfectly.

Decor Tips: A Glossary Of Key Window Decor Terms

So you’ve moved into your new home and have nothing but bed sheets obstructing your neighbors from peering into your windows. Looks like you’re in dire need of quality window treatments. But before you run off in search of the perfect window dressings, here’s a helpful glossary of window décor terms from the experts at Blinds To Go to help you navigate through the sea of design choices. Blinds are window coverings that offer versatility. They have horizontal or vertical slats that can be rotated for maximum light and privacy control. The slats can be made from wood, fabric or aluminum. The slats or material can be rotated for light and privacy control. Vertical blinds operate similarly to a drapery; they can be opened from the center and stack as a pair on both sides of the window, or they can draw from one side and stack as a panel. Horizontal blinds are drawn up and can be easily hidden, if desired, beneath a valance or top treatment. Cellular shades are an innovative fabric shade constructed from honeycomb-shaded cells that insulate windows with pockets of trapped air. The practical honeycomb structure of this shade is visible only from the side. From the front, a closed cellular shade appears to be a cascade of crisp pleats. When opened, cellular shades fold up neatly along the pleat lines to the top of the head-rail.
