Quick Ship Window Blinds

Hi All,

Would like to take a moment and introduce some interesting progress in the wood blind industry. Through newer technology and innovative ideas we have made a substantial change to the horizontal window blind production process. many competitors are selling cut down batch blinds that are nice and yet do not compare in quality to the craftsmanship of the custom made blind. Recent changes in production have resulted in the quicker production rate of the custom wood blind. Faux wood blinds are included. Our customers will now enjoy the fine quality custom product that you are used to and will receive the product faster because the time needed for custom build has been reduced by several days. In the past real wood blinds took approximately 5 - 7 days to be produced and shipped. Effective immediately your product will get out the door within one working day from the time the order arrives on the manufacturing floor. Quality will not suffer. The product remains one of the highest grade in the nation and detail is not spared in the new process.

Nothing beats a custom made blind for the home. Bass wood window decor is staple in the nation and we are committed to shipping quicker and faster without down grading the superior furniture quality blind you have grown accustomed to.

Your order will begin production within one day therefore cacellations and or changes will be limited. You must call immediately for and change or order cancellation. If the order has been started a fee will be accessed for cancellation. If your is complete it will ship and be at your door several faster than in past years. Please keep this in mind when entering size and color information. Quicker service and superior product through innovation and dedication.

Have a Blessed Week!

Windows Blinds Warm The Soul

When considering window fashions you need to keep in mind the feeling you want to create in your home. Softness is certainly something to consider. Do you need warm wood tones like Golden Oak stained wood blinds? Perhaps your looking for the subtleness of a Cherry 2"real wood blind. The fabric of the cellular shade is soft and reduces harsh light to a simple relaxing glow that makes for the most calm setting. You will enjoy the setting of your space alone or with friends so you need to consider the atmosphere. White window decor can brighten any space. Something about white blinds and shades cause the room to pop! with contrast to off colored opposing wall surfaces.

Texture also plays a roll. Woods might seem hard, yet in soft tones can sooth the mind through the eyes and take you to that place that says..Finally I'm HOME! Fabric honeycomb shades are surely gentle to the eye and filter light in that special way that is not matched by the open view of the window blind.

As a training purpose or field experiment shall we say. Go outside and stand in the drive. You know in the fullness of God's sunshine. Feel that warmth? Does'nt it just make you wish you could reach out and pull it around you like blanket? What a feeling!

That same felling can be brought to the indoors with the right window treatment. Give some thought. Many sytles and colors are available for your decerning heart and mind.

Have a wonderful day. Go play in the Sun!

Blessings,

Go Fly a Kite

Hey Ya'll

Life gets so complicated. The never ending work. The kids got school and all their activities. You barely find the time to sit down and order your window blinds. You know you want 2" blinds, but your not sure if they should be white or stained. Or maybe you ordered the samples and you did'nt follow through because you did'nt put your online list together for pricing. Well! Here's my advice. Sit down enter your sizes get your price and save it to the wish list. Now you have a place to come back to for you final determination. And then!

Go fly a kite! Yes, I said it. Go fly a kite! Seriously how long has it been since you flew a kite? March is windy. Best time to pickup a couple of cheap kites (they still sell them) find a friend from elementary school and go fly a kite. It's so easy a child can do it or an old guy and his not so old friend. You'd be amazed what a great time can be had just flying a kite. The memories, relaxation and conversation is so simple and yet so irreplaceble, you don't want to miss out.

After flying your kite you'll be so relaxed, you'll have no problem completing your order for window shades or blinds. Imagine that. Your windows are filled with a beautiful new decor that brings joy to your life and lifts your spirit. Just because you went to fly a kite. Oh, don't forget the power lines on take off and watch out for aircraft, because kites do soar.

God Bless and enjoy March Wind.

Home Sales and Wood Blinds

The sagging economy which we all know encompasses slow home sales has us all concerned. Folks, we have to look to the past,our history tells us we all endure tough times. Regardless who we think causes these times we know all cultures and nations and peoples endure downfalls. Your home is no different than your 401K. It is an asset that may at present seem to have lost it's zeal, it's zest...or maybe just it's place in your heart as the apple of your financial eye. Remember, it is in the down falls that we have opportunity to enhance, fix up and make these assets better so that when the economy turns to our favor again............we are ready!

As quick as home sales went down, they will return. We must be ready knowing that our perspective buyers will want turn key properties with great wood blinds and or shades that are to die for. By the time the media tells us things are better, it will be too late to grab those lower prices and already have the Roman shades installed.

Not intent on selling the family estate? Well, same thing applies. While the market is down, now is the best time to remodel, refurbish....HECK....just update the tired old thing. Enjoy it before you sell it!

My friends, things in these United States are about to turn and get better. Keep in mind that new window decor can not only embellish your home sale, but also please you and after all.....who are we each trying to please. Try it before you sell it, may be a new catch phrase. Enjoy the cost of the purchase for your new cellular shades, reduce heat cost and all while waiting for that short to come time when homes sales return and your purchase was not only enjoyable for the familiy, yet also a great enhancement to your the owner of your castle.

Just some thoughts from my own sorted past which remind me as well, MAKE improvements NOW! Don't wait for the main stream to tell us what to do.

Live carefully and enjoy life. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Don't forget those cellular (honeycomb) shades for the added insulation this winter. Just as in the summer the Honeycomb window treatment offers an Rvalue that will reduce heat and cold penetration. Please vist our products segment of the website and click factory specifications for the R value information on the cellular shades.

Wood Blinds Stop Hurricane Ike

Hey Folks,

Well my 2" window blinds did not stop Hurricane Ike, but they did allow me to close off the sight of 120 mph winds and the sight of what those winds can do. We in Spring,Texas were fortunate. The loss of many trees and services for a while, yet no major loss of property and the entire 6oo mile wide storm took minimal life. All in all I have to count my blessings and thank God for His Grace and Mercy.

Ike claimed a large portion of the coastal area homes and flooded numerous areas for more than seventy miles. Electricity has been reported out south to north for more than 100 miles. We are pleased to say manufacturing and sales have suffered only a minor set back due to electric power restoration.

I can say, when the storm cleared I surveyed out the 2" wood blinds and thought "no problem". Once the winds calmed and I went to retrieve my 280ZX from it's place in the garage I realized we might have a small problem. Though any problem can be overcome with the right effort.



Point being, we are back in the process of providing great wood blinds, faux wood products and shades. Hurricanes come and go like wildfires, tornadoes and flooding.

Our sincere thanks to the literal thousands of repair crews involved in the cleanup, repair and restoration of the Texas Gulf Coast area. And a very heart felt thank you to the understanding of customers for the slight delay experienced due to this catastrophe.

Window coverings are important for the home, yet in face of true disaster we realize that we are so small in this world and that nothing is more important than the belief in powers that we cannot control. Trust in the one who is in charge of all things.

We are about the business of continuing in business and hope you will visit our web site and see what wonderful products can be purchased to meet your window decor needs.

God Bless You,

Institutional Window Coverings

Hey Folks,

For those of you who work in the industries. I mean Hospitals,Nursing Facilities, even offices and especially professional waiting room areas.

Let me take a minute to discuss the insitutional window treatment. You will find your insurance companies and or lenders require some type of window fashion that is flame retartdent.

We offer such a product as Faux Wood Blinds in 2" faux, 2 1/2" faux white faux and yes even stained colored faux wood blinds.

These are flame retardent as many institutional establishments require. Wood blinds are the best and to die for, however safety first....when dealing with the industry guest and or patient,we must keep in mind the liability of the owner and residence.

You have noticed an increase in the faux wood prices lately! Due to the oil based material? Yes, but safety always over price and with white faux wood decor and stained faux blinds, why not conform to policy while prices are still lower than real wood? Wood window fashions are GREAT! and yet faux wood treatments can be every bit as soothing to the eye and help the institutional provider with safety code conformance.

Weigh the choices. Think before you buy! Look at all aspects and then google wbsfactory.com for great choices in window styles for your dwelling.

Thanks, God Bless You, Enjoy the cooler pre fall weather!

Hurricane Gustav and Window Decor

Folks,

I Love this country, but when prices rise due to potential problems it makes me crazy. Come on! A potential threat can raise prices from Orange Juice to Gasoline and everything in between.

Guess what? A Man just cut a tree in Spring, Texas. The price of Wood blinds will rise by 50 percent. NOT SO!!!!

Speculation has gone wild!

Actually we are in a trial period of offering lower prices to our customers. Wood blinds, cellular shades, woven wood shades, roman fold shades, 1" wood, 2 1/2" wood window treatments are currently reduced in price. Think of it this way. We make our living from our customers. We need money and you need window fashions. While trying to profit and be a sustainable enterprise we must make profit, however we realize that each household out there is just like our own. The normal folk (Of which we are) cannot stand anymore price increase. The only option is to stop buying. Gee's did I just say stop buying? I don't want that. You don't want to stop buying either. We both need to give and take. You need great window decor and we have classic wood blinds, honeycomb shades in fabulous colors. Not to mention the Roman Shades that are to die for.

Let's regroup. wbsfactory.com has lowered prices. We hope you will notice and take advantage of the great savings and fine furniture quality wood blinds we have for sell. Custom made products for the finer home everywhere.

Don't worry, that man in Spring,Texas did cut that tree down, but prices are not in danger.

Have a wonderful evening. Blessings to you all!

Why Do We Have Windows?

Here's the deal.

Wbsfactory.com lost a dear friend and neighbor recently. Eugen George or (Gene) as called by many. Gene was a great freind and neighbor of thirteen years. An older gentleman and a kinder more entertaining person you will not find. As normal there are preparations a family must make for this time. Funerals and burials are hard things to arrange and attend.

Point being this. As I watch the events following (thru the slats). One can not help but notice the healing and great family love that just naturally comes from the more difficult times. Kids will play and family will eat and talk. People will help heal one another. God gives this ability through us, though we always tend think we should live forever.

We have windows, because we want to invite the outside in. Blackout shades are great when trying to eliminate annoying light and reduce thermal ratios. Closing the wood blinds tight are a good measure to seclude or just temporarily avoid the outside. Fact is that in the long run, we want to see the surrounding properties. If we did not, we would miss certain opportunities like even the passing of a friend and how the family reacts to such events.

Choose your window fashions carefully and certainly for the need you have, but remember.....outside is good....neighbors can be good...always leave options available for a view thru the slats....or a view thru the top down bottom up.

Blessings to your family Gene and Blessings to our friends and customers as well.

Have the BEST Thursday!

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!
