The ample windows were the main draw for the couple. “We love having so much light, and the windows are almost always open in our home,” Reza says. Dressing so many windows can be costly, though, and the couple spent almost $1,500 on hardware purchased through an upscale catalog. Dissatisfied with the quality, they decided to make their own with materials purchased from a local iron vendor. Reza, a consummate handyman who says his guilty pleasure is an afternoon at the hardware store, assembled and painted the rods himself. “It cost only about $300 to make and install rods for the whole house,” Reza says.
The olive trees do very well in the light-filled room. “We simply put them outside for a day or two each month, and they thrive,” Hilde says.
