It’s really getting hot out there! But we bet you’re waiting until the last possible minute to crank up the air conditioner. Hey, we don’t blame you. Not only is it expensive, but air conditioners and cooling systems aren’t that great for the planet. In order to cool us down, air conditioners spew over a half billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year and contribute 24% of the country’s sulfur dioxide emissions, which is the main ingredient in acid rain. There’s plenty you can do cut your energy bill and be eco friendly – you can install custom drapes in your home. An effective way of dealing with the sunlight, drapes can keep your home...

One of the great things about a valence is that it doesn’t obscure a room, a view or light. It just adds that extra oomph your room has been...
Read MoreBeing in the custom drapery business in Mississauga for awhile now, we’ve heard all the buzz about custom versus ready-made draperies. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the debate and we want to clear it up once and for all! The most common myth is that ready-made drapery is much cheaper – in cost – than custom. Wrong! The price between the two isn’t far off – in fact, they are quite comparable. So if price is the biggest worry standing in the way of ordering custom drapery, problem solved!
