Everybody wants to be a hero. And today we are feeling pretty good. When HB Client Tammi Le Nair of L’Interieur Le Nair in Ephrata, PA had to figure a way to comply with restrictions in a historical brick building, she came to us. Tammi needed to install an arched treatment 2 feet above a window on the brick, without touching the brick!
Using her sketches and dimensions, Anita Boetsma, Mark Helser and Tammi designed a bracket that allowed her to install using the same holes as the blinds supplied by the building management, on the wood window frame. When they were done, the brackets allowed Tammi to “float” the rod above the window along the top of the arched brick. Pivoting saddles gave her the ability to match the curve of the rod wherever she needed to. And since the bedroom treatment was straight, she was able to move the saddle straight up and down. We’ve been excited about this project from the beginning and now that we see the gorgeous treatments Tammi designed and created, we are amazed.
“I am working with Anita at Helser Bros. because they were the first ones that came to my mind to make something like this.”, Tammi
“I just got my hardware from Helser Bros and boy do they ROCK! My arch rods are gorgeous, I am squealing with delight! Like a kid in a candy store, even better…WooHoo!”, Tammi
“Check out the brackets Helser Brothers did for me. Aren’t they great?”, Tammi

This is a beautiful, innovative treatment and a terrific example of that old adage, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” But I am most enjoying Tammi saying that she “squealed with delight” when she received her custom hardware, because I know that Tammi actually DOES squeal when she’s excited!
Rock on, girlfriend!
Rebecca!
You are too funny and you KNOW I was squealing like a pig and woo-hoo-ing it up! I still do when I get something from these guys. I’m expecting a delivery in a couple weeks so if you hear a high pitched melodic sound, it’s just me squealing again and again……..
