“Do not take my view away!”, was the mantra of a half of a couple in Black Forest. The couple had just moved in from out of town and a dispute had arisen in the marriage. She wanted to cover the windows. He wanted to see the forest. What style of custom curtains and drapes did they want in their new Colorado Springs home?
Imagine this: You work long hours and every morning you leave the house with the drapes open and your pets lolling in the morning sun. The day goes by and the sun moves along. As the shadows lengthen, you leave your workplace and go to the gym. The sun begins to set. You leave the gym and go out with friends as the last daylight fades. Can someone look into your uncovered windows and take note of what you own? If you have motorized drapery in your Colorado Springs windows, the drapes have already closed and nobody knows you aren’t home yet.
A client of ours contacted us after she went to get her three-year-old son and found he had been playing with the cords on the blinds. He had been spinning into it and had gotten it wrapped around his neck! She entered the room just as he was falling and no one was hurt, but recognizing the urgent need for child safe window coverings in her Colorado Springs home, she called us right away.
The thermometer read 10 degrees the day we went to the home of one of our clients to help with furniture placement. It was a beautiful home overlooking a golf course and the room in question had floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views. We took off our coats and began the consultation. Then we took off our sweaters. The homeowner apologized for the uncomfortable temperature and complained that this room was so hot all year round that they could barely use it! She had called about the furniture, but what she really needed was custom drapes for our Colorado Springs sunshine.
A client called us once with an urgent request. An art restoration specialist had come in to clean a priceless oil painting in her house and noted that the beautiful sunshine that lit up the room was also causing the oil paint to deteriorate. She needed custom window treatments for our Colorado Springs high-altitude sun that would screen out the UV rays as soon as we could get them made!
