Hunter Douglas Wooden Cornice


We just received a Country Woods Expose Wooden Cornice Board sample from Hunter Douglas. I saw this at the show last year, and loved it, but we didn't have a spot for it in the shop. Now that we are moving stuff around, we saved a special place for it! This piece really needs to be show-cased. It's beautiful!

This window-top treatment looks like a fine piece of furniture. It would go wonderfully over a blind or drapery; a nice, tailored, Ralph Lauren-type design that would be a handsome addition to a library or study. The one we received has the classic "Egg & Dart" carving just under the crown of the board. The finish we ordered is called "Cabernet", which looks like a rich mahogany, but it is available in 15 paint colors and 25 stain colors. And as if that wasn't enough, we can purchase it unfinished (in 4 species of wood) to be painted or stained to match any decor. Furthermore, the top is finished just as professionally as the face, which would be ideal in a loft situation.

Speaking of professional, I had better call Rich to install this one.
