So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

A Pocket Door Frame Is Vital To Any Home

By Jerri Perry


Doors play a vital part in any structure, as they help to divide rooms and provide privacy. More than that, they also add beauty. Unfortunately, they can get in the way of decor, because they do require plenty of clearance to open and shut them. Luckily, those installed on a pocket door frame do away with any of those problems, as can be seen below.

Such doorways were very common in the past because they provided the division necessary, but they slid away right into the wall, right out of sight. Of course, this is a special track, installed between two narrowly divided walls, just wide enough to slide a door through. Decades ago, they were the ideal solution for energy saving, as can be seen below.

During the cold winter months, people would slide them closed, maintaining the ideal temperature within the space. Imagine how the fireplace heated room can retain its warmth, when it isn't spread throughout the home, in rooms that aren't being used. Alternatively, during the warm summer months, they were pushed out of sight to provide a breeze.

Like this, it allowed the proper airflow throughout the home to keep it cooler and keep residents more comfortable. Anyone who has been to Europe can see its extensive use and popularity. With regards to decor, it mentioned that homeowners could place their furniture exactly where they wanted without having to consider door clearance. This was ideal in the homes in the past, especially since they were often smaller in size.

In other words, small rooms could be decorated according to how the renter or homeowner preferred. They never had to concern themselves about clearance because they just disappeared into the walls. Unfortunately, as times changed, pocket doors seemed to have lost their luster, but they are once again back in style for many reasons.

The truth is that people today are realizing just how special and useful they really are. They notice their convenience and how their space-saving effect is just as purposeful in modern times as it was back in the day. Today, they are a common sight in upscale homes, as they are more costly than regular doors, however even regular builders are starting to implement at least one such doorway in newer build homes.

Today's designs offer a smooth track for ease and convenience, but also for a quieter operation. What's more is the door designs are plentiful, allowing homeowners to decorate their homes without any problems, and ensuring a unique look that is second to none. Homeowners can pick from glass inserts with decorative designs, or interesting stained-glass, right through to the simple solid wood partitions that provide the most privacy.

The benefits of a quality pocket door frame installation are numerous. For starters, they are beautiful and convenient. So, they make for a great investment because buyers appreciate the superior features they offer, making a home look more attractive. They also realize that this type of doorway can cut energy costs, which is something most people can appreciate.
