A BETTER VIEW

After living in an apartment in Arlington, MA for 20 years we finally purchased a very modest vanilla ranch style house in Nashua last year. Opting for a more open look we removed the walls between the Kitchen/Dining Room & the Living Room & installed Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors with 3'x5' slate landings at the front & side door. Then we used the same imperial forest slate on a corner wall installed to house a corner fireplace. With these changes we needed some serious help with window treatments. Our realtor recommended Terre Heinz at "A Better View." Terre was very professional but with a warmth & sense of humor that gave us confidence that the results would be consistent with our vision. We were not disappointed. The material selected has vertical stripes but with a horizontal weave that made it very difficult to estimate the amount of stretching that could occur over time. After installing the drapes for the bay window & sliding door Terre checked in with us several times to make sure that the length was still correct. When she learned that the drapes for the window had stretched a little more than anticipated she returned & hand sewed the drapes so that they now hang perfectly. Terre has an artist's eye for design & is highly skilled in her craft. I would not hesitate to recommend her work to anyone.
