Rob's River House Renovation Weeks 5&6

The Sky Light is Here!

And ----INSTALLED!   The shower is framed out with the shower seat under the skylight.  After meetings with the plumber and electrician for fixture placements,  we wait for them to finish their rough-ins and wiring.
The 2 awning window openings are now cut in.  There is one in the water closet and one in the bathroom.  Both of them ensure complete privacy, but some beautiful light.   Remember, we are on the 3rd floor here--so the view out is sky and tree tops!!!
After meeting with Leo, our window treatment fabricator from 6K Interiors- we designed a soffet up at the top of the beamed cathedral ceiling for the window treatments to be anchored to.  The window treatments will consist of 3 motorized black out  Roman Shades with  a pair of motorized sheers that close from each end.  This will allow sound sleeping  and complete privacy with the Roman Shades and diffused lighting with the Sheers.  The windows span  is 27 feet therefore, the motorized mechanism will allow for THE ultimate "smooth operation" for such a length.
The River view out the 27 feet of windows.  You can see the Tappan Zee Bridge in the distance!!
