Woven Woods: Bring Nature’s Beauty Indoors
July 14th, 2010 by CoryNatural woven wood shades are hand-woven and are relatively environmentally friendly. They come in a variety of materials: woods, bamboos, weeds, and grasses which can compliment a wide variety of decorating styles.
The grasses are generously loomed and are soft and flowing with an exotic, modern-feel.
The bamboo and reeds bring nature to its elegant best with a tropical flair, while the matchstick’s tightly woven, uniform construction gives a more formal look.
If something truly unique and eye-catching is your forte, consider a combination. These shades are intricately woven by using two or more natural materials in stunning patterns.
The color range of woven woods is naturally beautiful from creamy whites to luxuriant ebonies, and almost everything in between, including all hues of browns, gold, oranges and greens.
Similar to roman shades, the natural woven woods have a graceful, definitive construction. When in the closed position they feature either a classic flat roman fold or the elegantly looped hobbled fold.
The lift options include the standard cord, on your choice of side, with shade descending. A handy lift option is the top down/bottom up feature especially for bathrooms and bedrooms where privacy is important but sunlight is desired. If you’re dressing a large bay or picture window, a lift worth considering is the continuous cord loop with its heavy-duty clutch and pulley mechanism. Cordless woven woods have just hit the market and not a moment too soon. It’s an excellent safety option where small children or pets are a concern, or if you simply prefer the uncluttered look.
Additional options are privacy or blackout liners and edge binding. Since woven woods naturally have gaps, some more so than others, you’ll want to consider privacy liners. They provide just that – privacy, while allowing a soft glow of light to filter through. A blackout liner is ideal for bedrooms and home theatres. Fabric edge binding comes in matching or contrasting colors, in patterns or solids and, along with giving a finished look, can add lifetime to your shades.

Blackout ? Why should you get your window treatments with blackout ?
May 19th, 2010 by CoryOne of the most important things anyone can do for their health is to get into a deep enough sleep in order for your body to fully rest and recover. It’s not about how long you sleep like many people think. It’s really about how deep you sleep.
The problem that many people have in trying to get a deep sleep is things distract them and wake them up in the middle of the night. This could be happening to you without you even knowing it because by the time you wake up, you won’t remember. If you are type of person who needs total darkness to sleep and you have blinds or curtains where light is still able to show through, then this can be a great solution to your problem.
One great option is cellular Blackout Shades… ask us about Hunter Douglas energy rebates…
Secondly, climate control and energy consumption. Custom draperies with blackout lining are a perfect way to both keep cool in the summer by blocking out the sun’s strong rays and keeping warm in the winter keeping the heat from escaping…..

Lining and Interlining
January 19th, 2010 by CoryLining and Interlining materials play an important role in the overall function and beauty of custom window coverings.
Some of the benefits of using lining materials:
Adding lining helps to control light, provide insulation, gives a consistent appearance from outside the home, protects face fabrics, adds fullness and adds body allowing face fabrics hang, drape and perform better.
Wow! That’s a lot of benefit out of something so reasonably priced.

“Cory and her husband did window treatments for our entire house, helping us choose the type and style that was right for each room. They installed everything … even made an upholstered headboard for the master bedroom and coordinated screen doors. It all looks great.” C.HORRIGAN
“Cory has a great eye and is a pleasure to work with. We followed her advice on almost everything and have been extremely pleased. She did shutters for bedrooms and the den, beautiful curtains in the living and dining rooms, and she made the perfect old-time roller shades for the kitchen … they match perfectly the style of th house. Everything is top quality and was installed quickly. Cory even went the extra mile and helped us pick out bedding and other accessories to pull everything together. When all was done, she even surprised us with a custom-made skirt for the bed. Working with her was a wonderful experience. She went beyond every step of the way.” C. HORRIGAN
