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?
