1st place- Combination Window Treatments 2020 Vision Workroom Competition awards Office- Historic Window Treatments “I have an unusual design project, would you be willing to help me?”, my client, a retired lawyer said on the phone. He purchased two antique brass cornices, which he envisioned them to be incorporated into his office room window treatments. He envisioned grand, sophisticated, functional, mix of old and new window treatments. Also, they had to be in the client’s favorite color red, but none of the proposed shades of red fabrics were appealing to the client. His favorite piece in the office was the antique rug, which gave inspiration for a completely different color scheme of blue and gold pelmets, crowned with brass cornices. For privacy, I added functioning shaped Roman shades with a gold bottom tassel. My client was pleasantly surprised with complete opposite color scheme and out of the box design, then he finally approved the project. The most challenging part of the fabrication was to match the pattern on both pelmets and Roman shades. Also, keeping right proportions of all three different elements was another challenge. These office combination type window treatments reflect the client’s personality and his passion for antiques. His house was underground railroad, which is part of small town’s history. Part of the house was preserved during renovation, such as window glass is still original with air bubbles and initials of passed residents. Window treatments were the last design addition to the house. We incorporated “old and new “and made them grand, as client wished.
