Ok, Ok, I know I haven't written the last two posts but I just wanted to get some content up here for people to actually read so they come back!

Here is an article I found on Faux wood blinds written by Ernesto Maitim.  ENJOY

Faux wood window blinds serve as worthy window treatment alternatives to the genuine wood blinds. They are considered durable yet classy - certainly they appear much like they are created from genuine wood material. More so what is great about them is that they can be purchased at lesser cost. Indeed, when talking about wood faux mini blinds, it can be said that they are durable and long lasting. Unlike the real wood blinds, which are easily damaged when treated to moisture and water exposure. This makes them less durable and has the tendency to deteriorate more easily.

Actually, such faux wood window blinds are created with the use of such materials like vinyl based compounds or a mixture of vinyl and wood. The wood-like window blinds treatments are actually made of whole polymer material or mix wood and polymer.
Main advantage of such faux blinds is that it takes a long time before they get dirty. This is why they are very easy to clean. When cleaning your blinds, all you have to do is wipe of the dirt gently with a dry cotton cloth. You just need to make a few wipes and the blinds will again become tidy and looking new. Indeed, most consumers and interior decorators love to install faux wood window blinds on windows not just because they boast of overall product quality but because of its great and attractive appearance. Faux blinds are definitely durable and despite exposure to harsh elements will not warp, crack or fade.

Lastly, it can be said that faux wood blinds definitely perform as well as the real wood blinds, if not better. They control totally the entry of lights through your bedroom. Also, they work in maintaining the privacy that you want to enjoy while inside your room. They work to maintain the temperature of your room, cooling it while it is summer time and cooling your room when experiencing summer time.

Conservatory Window Blinds and Home Security

Here's an article by John Holland I found online.  Thought it was a good informational article.

There are certain tactics homeowners can use to keep their property and possessions safe from burglars. Everyone thinks that it won't happen to them, but Home Office analysis of crime figures last year revealed a surge in burglaries in England and Wales.

The sad thing is that a lot of heartbreak, inconvenience and money can be saved by simple burglar-proofing of homes. We literally do not know who is scoping our property and possessions while we are at work, shopping or on holiday.

Home security experts advise homeowners to use gravel for paths and driveways outside their homes to make it almost impossible for prowlers to approach unheard - it makes a distinctive crunching sound.
Solar lighting is an attractive and cheap way of lighting your home from the outside - some streets are very dark indeed, and there's always the chance a streetlight will break.

Thinking of lighting, it can be an idea to get a courtesy lamp for outside the front door. This not only illuminates the faces of callers to your home, but choosing one with a sensor means it will automatically come on when dusk falls, making a property look occupied.

A burglar alarm will deter some potential thieves, but make sure it is well-maintained as insurance companies may not honour claims made on a policy if a listed system has not been services or has broken.
High hedges and shrubbery, tall fences and walls all provide snoops with the privacy they need to break into your house - and spend as much time as they like doing it, in the knowledge they won't be challenged.
Consider cutting back overgrown foliage and perhaps replace closed fence panels with open-post fencing. Inside your home, consider using voile curtains or some style of window blind to make it harder for callers to look through your windows and see what nick-able items they can see.

While you're masking your windows against unwanted attention, remember to include your conservatory - these glass rooms are very visible and often at the rear of the house, so if you use yours as a second sitting room or dining room and it contains all kinds of expensive and attractive accessories, stereo equipment or televisions, consider conservatory window blinds. Not only will these shield your goods but blinds and voiles make it very hard for callers to see if someone is at home or not.

It just takes a little time and imagination to out-wit opportunist thieves, but some of it is common sense, and these security arrangements don't have to be intrusive to your lifestyle or make you feel as if you're living in a fortress.
