About Us:
We have been working with clients for the last fourteen + years helping them design window treatments and choose wood flooring, carpet and various hard surfaces, granite countertops, for home and office. This involves using the surrounding colors and textures that are already in place. Another thing to consider is the “Light Source" -- is it adequate or minimal, does it come from inside or outside? This can have quite an effect on the project as a whole. Addressing security and privacy is just as important.
What we Do
In addition to helping with the selection of window treatment Home Automation interface with blinds, shades and drapery's we carry designer fabrics, rods and hardware, collections of trim, finials, and scarf holders with a multitude of finishes, including the HunterDouglas product line of shades and blinds--including Luminettes, Silhouettes & Vignettes. For those who want the rich warmth and natural beauty of real wood, Select Millwoods are available in your choice of genuine oak, cherry, ash, pine or mahogany, in an exclusive line of wood blinds &wood shutters where we can even match stain or paint colors.
Goals
When someone invites us into his or her home or office, the first thing we like to do is an interview to find out the their priorities. Together we can come up with simple thumbnail sketches to paint a vision of what needs to be accomplished. We look at the essentials, as well as what will satisfy the creative senses.
Parting Thoughts
Cost conscious is a powerful argument for simplicity and common sense, we're always looking for the best buy we can afford. That simply means buying what we need at the lowest price available. It's the reasoning we use when we're buying toothpaste, a package of socks or an automobile. Problems begin by changing that buying logic and trying to find the lowest price available for what we need. This may sound like the same thing, but read on and you can understand the difference.
Words we use to describe price i.e. "cheap", we tend to misuse the term, so lets begin by identifying the difference between the two words. The Dictionary defines the word cheap as "Relatively low in cost; inexpensive,devalued,Of poor quality; inferior: or comparatively inexpensive,". The word inexpensive is defined as "Not high in price; cheap". Since each word uses the other in its definition, we tend to think of them as interchangeable. But if you look at the alternate definitions of the word cheap, you'll understand why the two words shouldn't be considered one and the same. Cheap is also defined as "Of or considered of small value", "Of poor quality; inferior . So in shopping terms, lets use "Of poor quality; inferior" to define cheap and "Not high in price" to define inexpensive.
What is the conclusion. Value added refers to the additional value of a commodity over the cost of commodities used to produce it from the previous stage of production.
Then consider why people will pay more, often a lot more, for a product they buy it in Nordstrom’s and even more if they buy it in Neiman Marcus, than they will pay for the exact same product in Wal-Mart. Why do you think that happens? It’s because the experience is completely different. When they shop in Nordstrom’s or Neiman Marcus, they feel much better about themselves and they make a different kind of a statement than when they shop in Wal-Mart.
A measure of those qualities that determine merit, desirability, usefulness, or durability." Paul Lemberg"
"Cheap takes you further than you want to go, keeps you there longer than you want to stay and costs you more than you want to pay".
