Rochester Opera House Install Complete!

We picked one of the hottest days of the summer to complete this project but the Rochester Opera House is air conditioned and it was cooler than outside!

The job finished out great...and I should say "just as I imagined it would!" thanks to a great group of colleagues from the WCAA.





Soft Valances were added to the standard pinch pleat valances to provide maximum light control. We also used some of our professional tricks to make sure that function and style were both achieved in this project. We were able to complete this project with all donated materials, supplies, labor and talent. In an economic time when everything is getting 'under valued' we put a valuable, quality job in to our community.

The fabric used on the arched valances were left from a commercial job many years ago. You can see how perfectly the design enhances the stencil work on the walls. It was as if the fabric was waiting to be used for this historic project and I'm proud to have helped make it happen!

If you live in the local area, please visit this historic theatre and check out their programs for the upcoming season. We know you will have a pleasurable experience due in part to our efforts in reducing the light leaks, enhancing the aesthetic space and keeping some community attention on this gem!

Rochester Opera House Installation "SOON"

Hello,
The local NH Seacoast Chapter of WCAA has completed it's second work day and we are now ready for the installation. I am including a picture that shows some light leaks around the treatments as they are now and I hope to show the 'after' pictures soon to show how window treatments can solve this problem and enhance the window. I can't wait to see the arched swag treatments installed. I have had 7 yards of fabric in my work room left over from a commercial job many years ago. You will see how this fabric was meant to be created and used in this theatre.
