Window Treatments and Custom Bedding

Bob is joined by Kara Roberts of Smith & Noble, who shows the newly installed metal blinds and curtains. The blinds have a brushed metal finish to coordinate with the rest of the apartment and were ordered custom from their online catalog. Smith & Noble also supplies custom bedding, like the linens and slipcovered headboard selected for the Miami condo. The X-shaped table at the foot of the bed is a reasonably priced accent piece of split bamboo, also from Smith & Noble.

Selecting and Installing Window Treatments

Bob and interior designer Leslie Curtis discuss the window treatments in this episode. Curtis is working in the dining room, where Kevin Murphy from Smith + Noble is on site finishing up the installation of the company�s window treatment hardware. Curtis chose a twisted rod made from mahogany and located the curtain rod brackets outside of the window�s frame for a better view of the home�s landscaping. The curtains are shipped with the rings attached and are ready to hang once they are unpacked. Bob screws the first finial into the predrilled hole in the curtain rod and slides the rod through the curtain rings. Then, the second finial is attached and the rod is simply placed on the wall brackets. Curtis ordered curtains slightly long to create a slight puddle of fabric at the floor for a more formal look.

Touring the Martha's Vineyard Home Addition

Starting with the window treatments, the designer shows off the simple white cotton swags with a puff. Next stop is the Victorian inspired bathroom. The floor features small white hexagonal tiles with random black tiles. The great room is twenty by thirty two feet, featuring Victorian wicker made from willow with natural green stain. Then they go down the long thirty-foot hallway. In the hallway the designer shows off the unique design features of exposed studs. They walk through the home pointing out Victorian influenced lighting and decorative pieces. Going upstairs, each bedroom is themed and colored accordingly to its use, fishing and nautical for the boys and pink for the girls. The Yankee ingenuity and second-hand furniture pulls together this comfortable, authentically Victorian family retreat.

Creating a Swag Window Treatment

Finally, we tour the kitchen and dining area of the finished house with the designer. And she teaches Bob how to create a swag for a window treatment.

Window Treatments for the Dining Room

Kara Roberts from Smith & Noble joins Bob to review the selections made for window coverings in the Mashers' dining room. Starting with the sheer organza, polyester, crushed iridescent panels over the French doors, Roberts helped homeowner Jeanne Sanviti-Masher select window coverings that are kid-friendly and complement the decor. The panels hang from a disitnctive rod with decorative hardware and cost about $350 for the complete look. Roberts does recommend an undertreatment for sheer panels, both for light control and privacy. The Mashers selected a tight-weave bamboo Roman shade for the French doors. This custom shade costs about $250.
