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

Top Reasons To Choose Honeycomb Cellular Shades

By Marcie Goodman


Honeycomb cellular shades offer benefits all year round and can help to keep a home more comfortable. They are good looking and can be used alone, but are also a good addition to other window treatments used in a home. Providing shade from the sun in the summer, they also help to provide insulation for glass in the home. Different levels of light diffusion make it easy to select the appropriate model for a home.

One of the most popular reasons for selecting these shades is for their insulating ability. However, many homeowners do not realize that they can make a just as significant difference in the summer as they do in the winter. The insulation they provide can help to keep homes cooler, reduce the cost of air conditioning and protect the furnishings from the harmful UV rays that come with bright summer sunshine.

In the bedroom, owners have the choice of light blocking blinds. These units help to prevent light from the sun from disturbing your slumber. If neighbors leave outside lights on all night long, you can control the amount of light entering your sleeping area. Day sleepers can create a dark room in which they get the rest they need.

The double layers of fabric also offer the advantage of noise reduction. You can block out the sounds of traffic or kids playing next door. The reduction in noise levels makes your home a more enjoyable place in which to relax.

One of the concerns about shades for many homeowners, is the danger that cords produce for children or pets. Today, these units are available in cordless options. They use tiny electric motors to roll the window treatment up or down, allowing you to adjust as necessary to allow the right amount of natural lighting to enter a home.

Many reviewers prefer the D-shaped cells for these units. This shape works best in holding the accordion shape that traps air to provide insulation. Spun lace offers a softer, yet heavier material than point bond fabric. It also offers a greater insulating ability in both winter and summer that the less expensive point bond fabric. For the greatest insulation value, choose a double cell unit instead of a single cell one.

Options vary from light filtering models to those used for total blackout of windows. The light filtering units allow natural lighting in the room while providing privacy and insulation values. A room darkening shade is excellent for areas where light becomes distracting. They make a good choice in both the bedroom and the home theater.

Consumers will find a wide variety of color choices. While these window treatments work well on their own, pairing them with drapes or other options can provide an even more dramatic look. The size of pleats that form the cells also from small to large, with each providing a different look.

Honeycomb cellular shades are a great option to reduce the summer sunshine that increases the load on your air conditioning. Their insulating factor also helps to prevent cold drafts from windows in the winter. They can be used to create stunning window treatments in many different areas of the home.
