Make a Big First Impression with Front Door Window Coverings
On August 24, 1812, First Lady, Dolley Madison famously ordered the red velvet drapes adorning the Oval Drawing Room to be saved. As Major General Robert Ross and British troops closed in on the White House, we imagine Dolley fleeing the scene with vibrant red drapery thrown over her shoulder. Maybe she pulled cascades of luxurious fabric into a presidential carriage with her as she stepped in, catching the drapery before it pooled on the ground.

Much like Washington D.C., Virginia is filled with ornate historic buildings that can sometimes be challenging to dress, you can revive colonial architecture or create a modern design with window treatments on your front door to create a truly grand entryway that would impress even the most difficult diplomats. At Early’s Shades & Shutters, our seasoned team can help you create a stately entrance for your home or business in the greater Amissville, VA area with Hunter Douglas products.

According to legend, Dolley’s red empire-style gown on display at the National Portrait Gallery is made from the red drapes that once hung in the Oval Drawing Room.
Duette® Cellular Shades: Bring your drapery design into the 21st century by pairing Design Studio™ Custom Drapes with Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades.

While we might not be fitting our drapery fabrics for an empire-style Dolley Madison gown , custom window treatments tailored to your doors do offer significant benefits for your home or business. Custom coverings reduce utility costs by improving energy efficiency and regulating temperature. They also provide superior light and privacy control. At Early’s Shades & Shutters, we help maximize the benefits you enjoy from custom coverings by ensuring the perfect fit and installation.
