Window Treatments or Wives

Life can be as difficult as we make it. Are you choosing a spouse or a window treatment? Really does not matter. You want that perfect window decor, yet you don't know if it's blinds or cellular shades. Gosh the 2" window blind is the most common and favorite and so pleasing yet, cell shades are so cool and reduce the heat and cold factor.

Well, truth is it's alot like choosing a spouse. You can see something so beautiful and or handsome and think Wow! and that BLING!....all that glitter and money too! Knowing the whole time you are barking up the wrong tree.

The issue is this. Keep focused. Know what you want.Look around. Go to the stores. Yes, retail outlets are high, but you can get good ideas. Look at the Southern Living, Better Home and Garden and so many more. Do some home work and then go shopping. When shopping look at the factory specifications. Know what you need.

Wives and husbands are too often chosen on the spur of the moment. That too often relates to bad news for the choosing party. Avoid the window covering catastrophy by looking, shopping, learning.

Woven wood shades are great if your neighbor has them, but is it the style you are? Roman fold shades are wonderful but, are you that person? Take a good look.

Ladies, how many time did Mr Right turn out to be toad? Guys, Ms. Right is great when we help her to be great but, let face it....were men...she will need some help.

The bottom line. Take time. Look around and decide what is your style. Search out the details. Read articles, look at other homes. When fully comfortable in your choice then look for the wood blind or shade you desire. Roman fold, woven or cellular.

Don't be disappointed.

Have a Wonderful Day?

August Heat Wave 2008

Okay, I cannot testify for the northern most States, however summer August 2008 for the southern United States looks to be an absolute sizzler! Especially Texas! Luckily we have some regular rain to water the nature and give temporary coolness to some days, yet just enough to bring down that 101 degree to a WHAT? comfortable 96 with humidity.

Cellular Shades! Honeycomb cellular shades...........they come with an insulation rating and are proven to reduce heat and cold better than wood blinds and faux wood and vinyl blinds. View the factory specifications under cell shades on our web site and you will see the r-value for product.

Folks this energy thing ain't goin away. It started long ago and has risen steadily since. Some years we get a little break, but you know well as me. We are not seeing No break since last year. Some wages are keeping up, yet most are not. Even if the earnings increase you have to spend it on the ever increasing price of products. Even when money is not an issue. Do you really want to continue giving the dollars away to the power providers?

Get a little green. Don't go ballistic, just consider a cellular shade for the green effort as well as an actual reduction in the heat and cold penetration into your living space that will result in lesser dollars spent to cool and heat.

AND KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED!!! Somebody comes in force them to pay part of the bill. Nobody comes in ..... you just plain loose money. Crime is not the basic reason for the closed door anymore.

Blessings and stay cool.

July 4TH Extravaganza!!!!

Hey Ya'll

July forth, Oh so many memories!..........tooo much homemade ice cream, too many orange crush soda pop's. Great barbeque and heat that would cause the sane person to catch the first flight to Iceland just for a hint of a cool breeze.

Independence Day in America. A great celebration that as I always stress, we take for granted. I say this because I myself do take it for granted. We must try and remember the reason for the Holidays. The 4th of July was created in recognition of the great blessing the United States received in the earlier years. Freedom from outside rule. Freedom's to let the people come together and voice ideas.

Love this country!, though I complain way too much like all the rest. I love that I can sell window treatments on the internet without being told I am restricted. Love! that I can walk down the street and have some better sense of safety than most of the people in the rest of the world. Love that I can afford and so can you the blinds and shades that let me see outside and close at night for privacy. Greatly appreciate the economic freedom's that tell me I am as capable as the next guy and can compete with anyone. Greatful for the competitors, because they keep prices some what in line. Only for so long in this country do we get these wonderful gifts.

Do that big cookout, fireworks display,lake weekend. Do the things we are so fortunate to be able to do! But, if your slow cooking Brisket.....BASTE with Italian Salad Dressing!.Becareful! don't let it burn....Remember! Barbeque is slow cooking not GRILLING!!!!!

And oh yeah, check us out for roll ease wood blinds and woven wood shades with easylift controls.

Traveling this weekend? Words to remember from preflight. There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but only 4 ways out of this airplane.

God Bless You, Be safe and Have Fun!
