Palladian Window Treatments

Hi Girlfriends,

Gwen's baaaaaaack-!

After a long "holiday" Gwen is most welcomed back. Occassionally she may stray during a pressing big job, but, she is here today, so let's get started Gwen talking to our girlfriends.

Denise: Why do architects feel the need to put in a palladian window in most Mcmansions today? By the time we get the 911 Homeowner call, she is freaked out about what to do with the one thing that made the buying of the house so attractive at the first showing.

Gwen: Does everyone know............Any two-story palladian window treatment IS going to cost to "fix" the problem? Yards and yards of fabric, a scaffold and a two-man team to install.

Denise: Rods, brackets and finials to compliment the height aren't cheap either.

Gwen: Amen.

Denise: Palladian windows, in addition to offering scenic benefits, ventilation, light and protection, this style of windows can and should be an important complement to any interior design.

Gwen: Yes, and ideally, windows are a means of documenting historic style.

Denise: And, adding character or charm to the home.

Gwen: But, at the same time, challenging.

Denise: OMG, after the challenges, the next important step is getting the SPECIFIC measurements and treatment information for each window.

Gwen: Professional, professional professional measurers only.

Denise: I see where you are coming from. Send your handyman husband to the grocery store for measuring palladian windows is tricky.........very tricky.

Denise & Gwen: Here are two choices that is less fabric, but, they won't change the installation price: These simple, soft and elegant treatment lends flavor to the Palladian window. It works really well. The first is a sunburst and the last one being a semicircle arched flourished during the Georgian Era.

Denise: Is one still insists on light, I suggest going with a lighter fabric that complements the feel of the room.

Gwen: I do the same, but never, never silk. By the 3rd month silk is the victim of "sun rot."
Denise: If Hunter Douglas or Conrad Shades are made wide and long enough, this style works in any Family Room.
Talk again,
Denise & Gwen

Hunter Douglas Provenance Enhancing.....

Hi Girlfriends,

If you think your window dressings are just for show, it's time to think again.

Hunter Douglas has been inventing and developing the latest innovations in window treatments since 1946. They design their treatments to enhance light's ability to bring a special warmth to any home. This is achieved by simply dressing windows with fashions that add style, practicality, energy efficiency, and value to all homes.

The Provenance Woven Wood Shadescollection is very much in style.  I love selling this Hunter Douglas collection........they're available in a rich assortment of bamboo, reeds, slats and grasses.  I keep telling my New York clients this collection is the answer to Conrad Shades .  Prices too-!!

To the right, Provenance Woven Wood Shades represents the texture and beauty of natural wood. Used on this oversized window, the shade is a key design element in this room full of arranged surfaces and hues.   This photo shows off the Provenance woven wood shades in a rich "Sandalwood" tone and framed in floor-to-ceiling Robert Allen linen draperies hung from wrought-iron rods.

How simple.  How private.  How good looking.

Talk again,

Denise
