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,

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!

The Perfect Storm

Whew!

Tropical storm Edouard was a sudden creation out of the Gulf of Mexico and let me tell you. Those can sometime be the worst senerio even beyond Hurricanes. We on the Gulf Coast are so thankful that we were spared once again the devastation that has been past history.

T.S. Edouard was actually a blessing for many of as it left behind a nice neat 2 1/2" of much needed rain for the lawns, trees and scrubs.

With any emergency weather issue we have thoughts about being prepared. Please remember that faux wood window blinds are both flame retardant and under light circumstances water resistance. Wood blinds are very reactive to moisture and can warp. Faux wood blinds will take a little more punishment. For institutions such as Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Day Cares, Hotels etc. faux wood window treatments offer many advantages as well as insurance company criteria for public safety concern.

We continue to pray for blessings for all our coastal friends who enjoy the water, but must bare the storm possibilities.

Be safe, be prepared, be praying.

Happy Wednesday,

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?

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!

Who Let The Dog's Out!!!!!

Or should I say ....Who let the dogs stay In?

Guys and Gals.

I love the pooches much as anyone, but I gotta tell ya. One of our most common calls for blinds and shades failure is due to the familiy pet.

When my son was young we had a great beauty we called Christy. Short for Christmas Surprise. Christy was a young black and white Dalmation pup. One Blue one Black eye. We understood she would never be a show dog but her pup's might. Talk about a great Dog! Oh!!! Christy was balistic....Sooo much the fit lean machine that one will see in the shows. Sooo, much the apple of my son's eye. Yet, Christy, like many was curios, mischievious and just plain O'l wanted to be in the middle of things.

My point being...............Pets can be among the number 1 reason for blind and or shade failure. Oh, they never mean it and we can never really blame them, but !!! When we go away for the weekend or that Great Vacation...they feel sooo alone and even though we have someone come over to feed them and play with them....We'll....it is just not the same. The family pet wants the Family.

Okay, here's the deal. No one can warranty your blinds against pet destruction.

I can offer some thoughts.

Routeless blinds, will allow for the removal of each slat and replacement slat by slat. Still! If the one in question devours the strings...of said blind or shade...well...it's History.

My best advice..........Love um....take um to a friends or to an animal spa for those those short trips.

GEES...........we can't get upset with UM! We just Love Um Too Much!

Yet...we love our window treatments too!

Love and or leave Um...your wood blinds and shades will tell.

They don't mean it....Sooo, should you find your blinds and shades detroyed......we offer replacements. Be sure to get new color samples for fresh a compararison to the old existing color or to the wall color you now have.

It's tough!, but bite the bullet and forgive the family cat or dog. Were here and you can always replace the window fashion, but who can replace the Kid's favorite Pet?

God Bless You, Have The most Wonderful Week.
