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

Faux Wood Window Blinds For Your Home

By Jerri Perry


Faux wood window blinds are one of the best methods of applying effective window treatments to a home. They can be purchased at a reasonable price, are easy to install and maintain, and are available in colors and shades that will match an entire home. They work equally well in bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, and baths.

Choose the element that they are to be coordinated with. It could be the floors, walls, furniture, baseboards or even your art collection. So many different colors and shades are available that it can be difficult to select one among several. Shades to consider include white, light oak, white, cream, ivory, walnut or cherry.

They are available in standard widths and lengths. If you have an unusual shaped opening, you can special order exactly what you need. Almost any type can be made for any kind of opening for anything from French doors to arched windows. Some designs are actually able to be be cut to size quickly and easily right in your own home.

Active children and pets will not be able to do much damage to these window treatments. They are practically indestructible and are difficult to bend or break. If your home receives bright spots of sunlight in specific areas, these treatments will allow you to keep your rooms cool by closing off the hot rays. Your air conditioning bill may be substantially lowered because of this.

Cleaning is a snap - just use soap and warm water for dust, discolorations and stains. These treatments are absolutely perfect for residences in high-humidity areas as they are moisture proof, will not splinter or fade, and can withstand very warm and cold temperatures. If you are the owner of a house, cabin or trailer at a lake or seaside, they would really be the perfect treatment for your windows.

Probably the biggest advantage of opting for these products instead of real wood treatments is the cost. These options are so much less expensive, sometimes as much as $100 to $200 less per larger blinds. If you are on a tight budget and not totally set on the real thing, they may be your best choice.

Styles are available in a variety of textures such as a wood grain or an embossed motif if so desired. Add interest to the treatments by adding cornices, drapes, or valances after installing. Sometimes leaving them plain can be a best option as they are very attractive and allow specific amounts of sunlight in at the homeowner's discretion.

Shutter styles are also an option. They can open wide to allow large amounts of light into a room and so outside views can be seen when desired. They are much more heavy-duty and can provide more protection in the case of a hurricane or tornado.

Faux wood window blinds can make your home much more inviting both from the inside and out. Easy to install, available in almost any color or shade, and relatively inexpensive, charm and character can be added almost instantly to any area of the house.
