FIELD OF INVENTION [0003] This invention provides door dressing for prominent windowed passages with ease of installation and built in housing for a spring rolled shade and it's accompanying hardware. The invention provides an aesthetically pleasing source of privacy and UV protection. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] Proper hardwood dressing of prominent windowed doors to present have required in depth carpentry knowledge of materials, joinery, reveals and fasteners to build and install. Previous art has offered separate pieces of the whole dressing, for example; an ornamental cornice or brackets for mounting shades or trim. The invention, cornice with integrated trim and window shade, addresses the need for a thoughtfully planned design. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an aesthetically pleasing and practical cornice with integrated trim and window shade. [0006] Another object of the invention is to provide a design that eliminates costly tools and professional assistance during installation. [0007] The complete design is comprised of four parts: one cornice, two plinth blocks and two pieces of trim. Each part is dependant on the other for reference during installation. [0008] The embodied design is constructed of hardwood lumber. The cornice is assembled with the following components: a right and left integral corbel; a face stretcher; a cornice header, with through-channel; a right and left shade mounting block; a minimum 31/4 inch crown detail; shade handle/stop possessing a pre cut channel to allow the insert and securing of a shade stiffener supplied with a spring rolled shade. [0009] The cornice is pre-assembled for the end user, as shown and described in the detailed description. The cornice is held at the desired height and centered between the right and left vertical door jambs and the bottom edge of the face stretcher is aligned at the desired finished reveal of the horizontal section of the door jamb. A reference mark is then made on both sides of the integral corbel vertical dado at the inside bottom edge of both the right and left corbels. A plumb line is made from the inside reference mark, nearest the door, to the floor. The cornice can be removed and the hardware supplied with the spring rolled shade should be installed on the inside edge of the right and left shade-mounting block, and is set aside. [0010] The plinth block is placed to the outside of the floor reference mark, checked for plumb, and secured with two finish nails. Mirror installation for other side. [0011] The trim is centered on the plinth block and aligned with the outside reference mark made during cornice alignment. The trim is secured with four finish nails, at the base of the fluted detail, spaced over the entire length. Mirror installation for other side. [0012] The cornice is then returned to the desired height and trim is accepted into the integral corbel vertical dado until flush with wall. The cornice is mounted with two finish nails through predrilled holes in the cornice face stretcher and two screws predrilled on the top wall edge of the cornice header. [0013] The spring rolled shade can be guided through the cornice header through-channel and placed in the previously secured hardware. Insert the shade stiffener into a precut channel provided in the shade handle/stop and secure from the back with two setscrews in the provided predrilled countersunk fastening points. [0014] The minimal tools to perform the described installation are: pencil, any length level, drill of any fashion, 1/8'' drill bit, hammer, nail set, and screw driver. [0015] There are no miters, glue joints, or complex applications BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0016] FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention.
