Wood Blind Night Before Christmas

Twas, the night before Christmas and all man kinds…
having visions of cell shades and even wood blinds!

Having been scared to measure… they were in a pip…..
Oh my God! they thought….. what IF they don’t fit?

But the husbands were smart so they measured with care…
not cheating the rule and leaving room to spare.

Soon blinds arrived …and woven woods too!
All shades of wood to make the house look brand new!

The families had doubted the skills that they needed…
but soon found the store whose advice they heeded.

Once all installed ….the men confessed…..
I did not know what to do ……so I called WBS!

Excuse our feeble wood blind humor, But you won't have to excuse the quality of the products we offer. Our blinds and shades are just what you've been looking for at the price you wanted to pay.

Arched Windows

Hey! do have arched windows? Kinda hard to find window coverings for these isn't it?

While we do offer perfect arches (half as tall as wide) we and many companies do not offer solutions for eyebrow arches. Did you know you may be able to mount a standard blind and shade to the arch window? The application leaves the arch portion of the window uncovered which many find to be acceptable because the arch is normally located close to the ceiling and not a concern when privacy is desired. most shade and blind brackets are attached to the left and right ends of the product which will allow for inside and outside mounting on the ends only. This can be an issue if your window width is extreme, in which case a center support bracket will be needed and may be difficult if not impossible to install when you have no center area, divider, mullion.

Alternatives can be local manufacturers who computer cut wood and fauxwood products to your actual window arch. This will require precise measurement. A less expensive method would be a fabric valance or custom made fabric arch which can be installed using a variety of light weight metal tubing or curtain type rods.

Leaving the arch area open can allow for a nice day time illumination even when shades and blinds are closed and at night it might add a decorative accent to curb appeal, with the interior light visible thru the open arch.

Near future will most certainly make other arch options available. Until that time, I hope these are helpful.

Happy decorating and have a wonderful day!

Blinds For Apartments

Live in an apartment, condo or townhome? If so you'll need to check with tenant coucil or leasing office before deciding on blinds and or shades. Often color choices must be cleared by the building manager etc. White is often required for the outside or window side of the shade or blind. That's not a problem blinds are available in many shades of white and the honeycomb cellular shades are normally white to the outside regardless of the room side color chosen. I will urge you to consider that true whites, artic whites and some others may have a bluish huge that may not be acceptable in some buildings. Even woven wood shades have available liners for the street side of the window. These liners are often in white as well and not only provide the white street side requirement of many facilities, but also provide light blocking that will help to reduce the heat that can filter through the shade. Should you find youself in abosolute need of a stained blind or product that does not come with a white street side appearance you might consider a sheer fabric to line the window or maybe a white roller shade to mount behind the blind and or shade. Keep in mind the amount of depth you will using on inside mounts if you ponder this option, it might require an outside blind or shade choice once a roller shade is mounted in the recess of the window opening.

Even if renting or leasing your home, new blinds and shades are an inexpensive decorating option to make the home reflect your own personal style.
