An American Castle

 Gary Watson of Kerr’s Custom Draperies in Missoula, Montana recently approached us with a unique request. He was commissioned to design suspended bed curtains in a dormitory style bedroom for young boys. The high pitched roof created its own set of issues for Gary. And since boys will be boys, the rods and brackets had to be sturdy enough to withstand some level of monkey business. With a series of telephone calls and sketches, he and I were able to create corner and center brackets with rings welded to the top for suspending the framework from the overhead beam with chains. The elegant twisted rods slide into the bracket pieces and are fastened with set screws. All in all, the room delighted everyone and created just the medieval look the client was looking for.
