The
Colonist
To fulfill the request of
a professional designer, a pair of these solid mahogany cornices were
built to be integrated with London Shades to make a strong statement for
the client. Shown with an overall height of 5" with a
4.5" return depth. Can be produced in
any height you like. (Kara Marie, Inc., Pelham, NY)
|
 
The Corinthian
These 16" tall x 4' long door
headers were made from three large moldings produced by White River
Hardwoods:
a pair of reversed door headers and a frieze molding featuring 3D laurel
leaves. (Facility Planners, Inc., Nashville, TN)

The
Daniella
The customer who
originally came to us with this concept sent us a
photo of a cornice that had been in her home but was removed by a
previous owner. "Capture the look" was our
direction. The upper photo was the result. Shown at approx. 13" tall,
off-white antiquing with simulated gilding of embellishments and
detail. (Hingham, MA)
Lower photo is another
interpretation. This one was over 10' long necessitating two-piece
construction. The
keystone device masks the connection at the center. With
medallions shown, height must be a minimum of 9".

The Diplomat
This stained birch/poplar beauty was matched
to the customer's bedroom set. As you can see if you compare, it uses
the same crown molding as the Colonist, but with a dentil detail added and a
slightly larger bottom trim molding. Any height or depth can be
accommodated (12" left, 18" right). Flexible design options ...that's what
we're about!

|
The Deborah
A variant of the Diplomat, this striking
combination of our client's drapery fabric inserted between the moldings
resulted in a beautiful and dramatically different look to the very same
combination of elements used in the Diplomat (above). Use your
imagination...the sky's the limit!! (Mamaroneck, NY)

The Dorian
The combination of fine fabric
and antiqued wood was just the touch for an executive office needing that
"tailored" look. At nearly 16 feet in length it was our
longest cornice to date. (Twigger-Shaw Design Source, Charleston, WV)
|
|
The Kyoto
The flavor of the orient is
captured in this mixture of stained mahoghany, enamel, simulated bronze,
and gilding. The wallpaper inserted in the center tied the window
treatment
to a nearby wall in this customer's guest bedroom.
The
style was adapted from furniture photos
provided to us.

embossed beaded panel molding offers an attractive change from the
ordinary. (Alexandria, VA) |

and stop moldings make this

a beautiful addition to a den or office. Achieve a tailored
look without pretense! (Windham, NH)

The Monroe

customer wanted a "Chippendale" look to his cornice. Voila! A
new design is born! (Monroe, LA) |
|

The Patricia
The subtle curves combine
with the
massive dust cap to produce an elegant window cornice,
mantle, or wall shelf (with optional recessed bottom cover).
(Chesapeake Beach, MD)

The
Pennsylvanian
This classic dentil crown molding &
beaded panel molding combination adds the
architectural element our customer wanted in her dining room. (Fawn
Grove, PA)
|
|
The Oakton
Hand-finished hardwoods such as cherry and red oak
cannot be matched for an
elegant yet
natural look, and
the Oakton is no exception. 1-5/8" crown
molding above
a 3/4" half-round. Simple but effective.
(Starkwood
Designs)
The Populist
The painted version is every bit as charming as the
Oakton when your decor
calls for a different finish.

The Sylvia
Colonial chair rail and simple
half-round combine for a
bold effect. Twelve of these grace the
windows of the Greenbriar Oncology Clinic, Lewisburg, WV.

The
Urbana
A new look...created by one of our customers to
replicate
the look of his mantel, this colonial dentil
chair-rail/inverted base
molding combination provided
exactly the look he was
seeking! Bring us your ideas
and we will help you find
the solution! (Urbana, MD)

The Wakefield
A 10-1/2" wallpaper
border and snow white moldings
make a striking accent that will surely serve
this
client's needs for many years to come. If the mood
strikes, she
can always change the wallpaper!
(Wakefield, MA)

simple
half-round bottom trim. Just a little custom
touch for those who want something special. |
