We wanted to share a couple pictures of a job we completed this week.  These pictures are of fairly large roller shades which sport a translucent light gray fabric - we call it Mica - with silver color fascia, chain and hold-down clips.  The silver was chosen to blend with the metal mullion around the storefront windows.

This home is located in a revival area of the City of Phoenix.  The home is located in a convenient central location near great shopping and restaurants.  However, the house was built decades ago and as such was ripe for a remodel.

But, this was no ordinary remodel.  In fact house was not remodeled at all - it was transformed.  The house is now one of the nicest modern expression homes you will find anywhere in the city.  I am not kidding, this home should be featured in Phoenix Home and Garden Magazine.  And, this homeowner accomplished this without the use of a professional interior designer.  Kudos!

Anyway, the crux of the story from my perspective is that this homeowner choose roller shades throughout this home for carefully considered light and privacy control.  Frankly she could not have chosen better.  It is projects like this that make the hard days worth it.  Quite a beauty payoff.
