Yesterday we were packing up our truck for an installation. We had an extra long cornice and knew that it would not fit in our van. The cornice was 13 1/2 feet long! We thought we would be able to stick it through the back window of our truck and then tie it down in the truck bed. When we started to put the cornice in the truck, it would not fit through the truck's back window. Fortunately we are located right next door to a Penske truck rental place. We knew there was no other way to get this huge cornice to the house, so we rented a moving truck! It was a lesson on flexibility and worked out for the best. We all agreed that it would be wonderful if we had our own moving truck to use for every Sew Bee It installation.
The truck!
Before window treatments.
After: Cornice and Side Panels
Before window treatments.
Our main issue was this door. We had to make a cutout so that the door could open in. It worked out great and the cornice is as low as it can be without touching the door when it opens.
The entire length of the long cornice does not even fit in this picture.
I love how the cornice fabric matches the bark detail that is on the lower level of the walls.
Another great view that was enhanced by our window treatments!
