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

Factors For Choosing The Best Faux Wood Blinds

By Serena Price


Once you have narrowed down your choice to a faux wooden style blind, you have likely figured out that there are a broad range of styles to pick from. The best faux wood blinds will meet all of your needs. Here are some of the things to consider when you are shopping for the right ones.

These window coverings are available in two main types of materials. The vinyl models are less expensive and are generally made from a polyurethane and vinyl blend. Composite models are the other type of material available. This type is made of a combination of wood and a plastic blend.

You have a variety of colors to pick from. Once you have chosen a material, you can begin looking at colors. Wood and plastic models are often stained. Stains can be a traditional wooden color or in any other color, such as green or maroon. The vinyl models can be in pre-determined colors from the manufacturer or special order colors. Colors can be chosen to match or contrast any decor.

Slat shape and size are two more options. Typically, slats are flat or curved. They have standard sizes of one or two inches wide, but you can also get them at two and a half or three inches wide as well. The shape of the slats will determine how much light gets through, and curved slats tend to give you a bit more control.

Durability is a huge factor in choosing the best faux wood blinds. Although these alternatives are not as sturdy as real wooden models, they have many benefits their real counterparts do not. The biggest benefit is water resistance. Unlike authentic versions, faux models do not warp when exposed to humidity and they can be cleaned with water without fear of damage. Since they are made with infused color, accidental scratching does not remove the coloring and become visible.

Another concern, especially for homes with kids or pets, is safety. It is possible to choose a blind that looks good and is safe too. Always check to make sure each blind meets child safety guides before purchase. This includes not only the drawstrings but also the whole construction and mounting hardware.

Your last consideration is the way you buy your new window coverings. Many people think they are limited to purchasing what is available in their local home improvement store. You also have the ability to buy them online or place an order directly with manufacturers. It is important to keep in mind that not all purchasing options give you the ability to make custom choices. Choose the one that allows you to use your window measurements and the length you want.

Every person has a different idea of what they want. The best faux wood blinds will be the ones that meet your needs and have all the options you desire. Regardless of what type you choose and how you make the purchase, make sure you have some kind of satisfaction guarantee and warranty.
