Selecting and Installing Window Treatments
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.

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.
