Chuck and Donna enjoyed the Shutters Wilmington, NC we installed in their last home so much, that they decide to have them install throughout their new home. Previously they had purchased a 1 7/8” shutter louver which is considered small, in their new home they decided on a 3 ½” louver, much larger in size. By using a larger louver, the view looking through shutter is unobstructed. Also in their home they have what is commonly referred to as French doors in the center of the living area, over-looking the porch. Sometimes you will have these doors in which both of them operate, however many times and in their case, one door opened and the other was a stationary glass that did not operate. Since they had lever style door handles we added a beautiful shutter door handle cut out, this allow- a shutter to be installed on the door to maintain the same look as the windows in the same room. So as not to make the non-moving door look unbalanced, we decided to do the same shutter door handle cut out but also install a fake handle so that the French doors looked symmetrical, since they were a focal point in the room.

Along with the shutters we also installed Closet Maid closet systems Wilmington, NC in their closets, pantry, and laundry room. Closet Maid wood laminate systems make a great look to any closet but also allows for maximum storage space and great organization. Since these systems are designed off common sizes, they can be changed by the homeowner if their needs change later in life.

Last we installed a hard cornice in the front bedroom for added look and color. Since Plantation Shutter doors open many don’t realize that you can still include a topper. By choosing the correct valance and professionally installing it with a hinge system, you can have the best of both worlds.

I loved working with Donna and Chuck and look forward to their lasting friendship.

The beautiful layout of their new home incorporated the use of many windows. As with many of my friends, three issues of concern were Heat, Glare, and Privacy, all of which were successfully resolved. With all of these being equally important and the fact that they didn’t want to give up their view, a combination of Window Coverings and Window Treatments were successfully used to solve these issues, while maintaining Troy’s personal taste.

To handle the heat and glare, a light window shading, commonly known as Window Tint, Window Film or Glass Coating was applied first. In working with the privacy, while maintaining the view, a Bamboo Roller Shade with a Sleek Cassette Headrail or Valance was then installed. This allowed privacy while the roller shade is down, but maintains the view, as the roller shade is neatly hidden when raised. Lastly, in keeping with Troy’s fabulous style, rather than simply covering her windows with traditional 2” Faux Wood blinds, she chose to decorate with Roller Shades, which have become very popular in offering many styles, fabrics, colors, and textures.

As always, it has been nice working with great friends and helping them solve their Window Covering needs.
