Roller Shades

The old fashion roller shade, once seen in every home, and grade-school classroom in the country.

As a child, I loved to aggravate my grandmother by slightly pulling the tap, just to hear the noisily, "flap, flap, flap". I also remember the difficulty I had positioning them, the slightest wrong movement would send them flying up to the top. After the mini-blinds came about in the 1970's, nearly every roller shade was replaced.

Now, they're back and even better than before. The standard elastic cord, has been replaced with a chain within the workings that makes it possible to raise and lower the blinds to a specific position, with out them flying to the top of the window with a flap, flap, flapping. Other added benefits, with the newer roller shades are the materials used. Several of these newer roller shades are extremely energy efficient, using energy-absorbing materials that are also excellent sound absorbers.

For those of us who are nostalgic for the charm of pre-WWII décor, then you'll love the look these newer roller shades will give to your room. You can even purchase decorative tassels, to add convenience as well as charm.
