Exciting Windows! by Craig & Darlene Rhodes

I had an urgent call from a homeowner in Voorhees. He was looking for a drapery that would cover the entire wall in a two story family room. The wall in question consisted of an expanse of windows with a southern exposure. The windows were rectangular in shape, each row of windows was topped by a quarter circle pane.  Each individual window was framed in a decorative , wooden trim. When I pointed this out to the customer, he agreed, but indicated that in the day the drapery would be open. The drapery he requested would be about the size of one in a movie theatre! I brought up the subject of sun shades or blinds but he is set on a drapery. I told him I’d check on a price.

While delivering flyers in my target neighborhood (Sturbridge Forest in Voorhees, NJ) I noticed that a house, under construction for 6 weeks (at least) was completed. When I went to drop off a flyer, I ran into the owner! He was interested and requested an appointment! He has a very nice house on a cul-de-sac. The floors are all hardwood, the walls are all painted white and there are no treatments! He and his wife, Jackie, are interested in blinds at this time. The challenge will be in finding the right combination of product and price.
