Hurricane Gustav and Window Decor

Folks,

I Love this country, but when prices rise due to potential problems it makes me crazy. Come on! A potential threat can raise prices from Orange Juice to Gasoline and everything in between.

Guess what? A Man just cut a tree in Spring, Texas. The price of Wood blinds will rise by 50 percent. NOT SO!!!!

Speculation has gone wild!

Actually we are in a trial period of offering lower prices to our customers. Wood blinds, cellular shades, woven wood shades, roman fold shades, 1" wood, 2 1/2" wood window treatments are currently reduced in price. Think of it this way. We make our living from our customers. We need money and you need window fashions. While trying to profit and be a sustainable enterprise we must make profit, however we realize that each household out there is just like our own. The normal folk (Of which we are) cannot stand anymore price increase. The only option is to stop buying. Gee's did I just say stop buying? I don't want that. You don't want to stop buying either. We both need to give and take. You need great window decor and we have classic wood blinds, honeycomb shades in fabulous colors. Not to mention the Roman Shades that are to die for.

Let's regroup. wbsfactory.com has lowered prices. We hope you will notice and take advantage of the great savings and fine furniture quality wood blinds we have for sell. Custom made products for the finer home everywhere.

Don't worry, that man in Spring,Texas did cut that tree down, but prices are not in danger.

Have a wonderful evening. Blessings to you all!

August Heat Wave 2008

Okay, I cannot testify for the northern most States, however summer August 2008 for the southern United States looks to be an absolute sizzler! Especially Texas! Luckily we have some regular rain to water the nature and give temporary coolness to some days, yet just enough to bring down that 101 degree to a WHAT? comfortable 96 with humidity.

Cellular Shades! Honeycomb cellular shades...........they come with an insulation rating and are proven to reduce heat and cold better than wood blinds and faux wood and vinyl blinds. View the factory specifications under cell shades on our web site and you will see the r-value for product.

Folks this energy thing ain't goin away. It started long ago and has risen steadily since. Some years we get a little break, but you know well as me. We are not seeing No break since last year. Some wages are keeping up, yet most are not. Even if the earnings increase you have to spend it on the ever increasing price of products. Even when money is not an issue. Do you really want to continue giving the dollars away to the power providers?

Get a little green. Don't go ballistic, just consider a cellular shade for the green effort as well as an actual reduction in the heat and cold penetration into your living space that will result in lesser dollars spent to cool and heat.

AND KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED!!! Somebody comes in force them to pay part of the bill. Nobody comes in ..... you just plain loose money. Crime is not the basic reason for the closed door anymore.

Blessings and stay cool.

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!

"April Showers Bring May Flowers"

"April Showers Bring May Flowers" ?

Maybe, but they can also lead to more water on the freeway in May when the rain continues into May. Writers have often used April to indicate the opening because of it's Latin origin "aperire" which means to open. Did you know April begins on the same day of week as July in all years and also January in leap years? Okay, we may not all be longing for those April showers this year, because we know it means the opening to higher summer cooling cost.

Have no fear! Honeycomb or cellular window shades can help you cut those higher cost by reducing the amount of heat coming through the window. Available in single cell and double cell fabrics, both styles have r- factors representing the insulating effect that can work like the insulation in your attic.

Let's face it. Heating is now more expensive because because of cold and cooling more expensive because of heat. We can't win even one season anymore. The car cost more because it saves gas and more if it waste gas. We can only begin to think, cut cost for the long run.

Cellular shades are available in many colors and have great options like easy lift to reduce cords and my favorite (top down bottom up) allowing for light and or view at two angles.

Hope your May flowers are beautiful and April will not bring too much rain.

Spring Time Remodeling

Hey folks, we got a head start on Spring this year, thanks to the early enactment of daylight savings and also Easter is in March tis year. For you history buffs, you'll be interested to know that Easter has not been in March for approximately 93 years and will not be again for a little over 200 years. Naturally we all remember the real reason for Easter....Resurrection Sunday. Jesus born a man, died for our sinds and raised on the third day.

Weather permitting the Spring time early arrival will make most of us feel like getting the yard and home in shape and ready for visitors, garden parties etc. Well, don't forget those aged or just plain out of date window treatments. White wood and faux wood blinds brighten every home on the inside and the outside. Woven and cellular shades are becoming very fashionable also, as many seek to let in the light while keeping energy cost at bay.

Honeycomb cellular shades will allow filtered light to enter the room while not letting all that summer heat come at the same time.

For the environment fiendly at heart, the woven wood shades will do the same thing and you can take pride in the use of natural grasses, reeds, jute, bamboo etc. for your home decor.

Both products are available in a blackout version or with a blackout liner if you desire to eliminate further heat from the inside spaces.

Have a GREAT Easter Sunday!

Saving Energy with Shades

Like most people today we all want to cut back on the dollars we spend for heating and cooling our homes. We don't want to be uncomfortable, but we simply can't stand the utility cost which seem to be increasing with every coming month.

Consider cellular shades! Honeycomb cellular shades will provide filtered light to enter the home and illuminate the space and at the same time keep much of the heat and or cold out. As with any shade the henderance will be that shades are either open or closed. They cannot be tilted like a wood blind to allow for partial viewing. Actually YES! in one respect they can be! Some cellular shades are available with options like top down, bottom up. This means the shade can be lowered from the top and raised from the bottom. This option allows one to let more light in and limit the view in from the outside. Also, cellular shades come with an R- Rating, just like home insulation and the more efficient modern windows of today. Other features are also available, such as cordless shades or even easy lift which limits the number of cords to one. Colors and sizes are many.

My weather man says we are lucky this year. Temperatures are lower than normal and we can all breath easier. While he maybe correct, someone forgot to tell my electric company. I urge you! Consider Honeycomb Cellular Shades when trying to cut cost and still enjoy a modern stylish home.

From Spring,Texas where the temperatures lower, but the humidity is sweltering. I wish you a wonderful August weekend.
