Americas New President

Gee Wiz!

Is everyone so weiry as myself over all the U.S. Presidential election media? If so, Here is my theory! Buy lots and lots of wood blinds and or roman shades. This way we can all close off the world and recluse into our own harmony, at least for a little while.

Seriously, we live in a great nation with freedoms we should most certainly take advantage and or action upon. Voting is not only a right, but an obligation. How can we complain if we don't participate?

Okay, my take is this. Don't vote with the pocket book. Vote the man and or woman who will seek higher power and wisdom to guide the nation. Our country was founded on Godly issues and we have had many leaders who sought our God and provailed even without wordly wisdom or experience. God provides for those who seek him.

Whatever your thoughts, get out there and vote.

Once you've decided, leave the complicated media nonsense out and close out the process with a calming surrounding, like cellular shades to allow some evening and even morning sun in without the bolstering heat that normally accompanies such an idea. Woven Wood Shades, Roman Fold Shades are very trendy and will filter light as well. We also have the most attractive staple, the real wood custom blinds in1,2,2.5 inch sizes.

We'd love to have you visit and purchase window decor from us, yet we also would like everyone to participate in the upcoming 2008 Presidential elections so that together as one Nation Under God we might present our petitions and ideas and convictions to the one God whom has blessed this nation for these many years.

Enjoy your day!

Brown Grass, Green Blinds

Hey Folks,

Yes, I know the summer is coming really eary and the grass is turning brown in spots, Maybe it's global warming, maybe it is historical.

One thing I can tell you is that our wood blinds in Catus Green will not fade like your lawn and they don't need water that cost....well you know what water cost!

Folks, it is going to be one of those trying summers.Gasoline prices are crazy and everything else follows, but you can still change the look of the old homestead with new wood window blinds. Want a change and maybe some relief from the cost of cooling? Then you should check out the new prices of the cellular shades sometimes called honeycomb cellular shades. These shades will reduce some of that penetrating heat that bears down on your home all day. They are great for letting in light from top or bottom and still keeping the sun beast at bay.

Less, face it. We have all seen the times go up and down, yet we are in a money consuming economy today. I cannot lower gas prices for you , but I can offer a fair priced product to reduce heat and or even just to enlighten the look of the household. Wood blinds are great for changing the tone. Woven wood shades are becoming quite the trend and can be purchased with a blackout liner.

Wish, I could help with the brown spots in the yard, but water is the key and it seems we get too much or not enough.

Jesus, loves you. The yard will survive. Take care of the home and the feeling inside, let the outdoors be the outdoors.

God Bless you all and may God PLEASE Bless this Nation

Don't be a shadow of yourself

You know for years I would awake every moring walk through the house, open the blinds and think WOW! What a great day! Then I would turn and see my shawdow on the wall, thinking...MAN! I gotta loose some weight. Despite reports I did loose weight, but I also changed window coverings. Times change and so do our needs. Letting in the morning sun is great unless you have to leave for work in ten minutes and you leave the blinds open for the rest of the day to heat the home and cause the A/C to run all day.

No Fear, Cellular Shades are here. Replace the current window treament with a cellular shade....stroll through in morning use the top down option to drop that shade a couple inches to get that great morning light and leave it! The rest of the day your palace will get light to a low level, not requiring so much A/C and from the outside it will not appear so closed off, like no one home. Not to mention you can get single cell and double cellular shades which will reduce the filtered light, so like me you will not notice the extra two pounds you might need to loose.

We also have a black out shade that will reduce light even further. You know woven wood roman fold shades will do the same basic thing and are avaialble with a blackout liner.

Regardless of your window covering, I wish you all the most ABSOLUTE BESTEST FATHERS DAY !

God Bless You,

Stay Cool!

Faux Wood Blinds and Big Oil Prices

Many, will think the faux wood blind is supposed to be cheaper in price than the real wood blind. Yes, you are correct to a point. The faux wood blind is a hydrocarbon, hence oil related product that was introduced some years ago as a great alternative to the real wood window treatment. As most of you can guess, the recent oil price explosion is effecting the faux wood blind also.

Where will all this lead to? The industry is not certain. Some believe that faux will soon out price a real wood blind. Should this happen the desire for a faux blind would as most agree fall by the way side. Real bass wood blinds are the staple of the window decor in homes today. Draperies are great, but blinds are the only fashionable tilting, lifting venue for blocking out what you do not wish to see and yet letting in some outside light for your own viewing pleasure.

We do not yet know what will become of the faux wood blind, yet we can caution! When purchasing.....ask...is this product custom made or cut down? Many are being sold as a cut down product at cutom made prices, because of the recent increase in faux wood cost of manufacturing. If you are looking for a lesser quality product like a cut down blind, then there is no issue with a lower price. However, do not be deceived into paying for a product that is not what you thought it would be.

Folks, I... like you, do not wish to resort to the days of aluminum foil in the windows to block heat. Excellant window treatments are available, but now may the time to look at real wood products due to the shrinking savings on the oil related faux wood materials.

Faux window treatments are on the rise and will continue to follow oil prices like too many products must. My advice is like always. Becareful, check prices, take the time to do the research. Get samples and order small windows first before buying for the entire home.

I can say that good or bad. Faux blinds will remain a need for certain facilities due to the flame retardent reaction of the material itself. Flame redardent is required by many insurance companies and municipalities for conformance to safety regulations in the protection of the general public. Faux wood window decor will have a place in our society and a well deserved place, how the pricing will proceed is still to be seen.

Blessings and have a GREAT WEEKEND!
