Extreme Window Treatments

If you’ve read our blog, you probably already understand how obsessed we are when it comes to window treatments. From historical treatments to treatments in art and film, we love to talk about each and every one of them. Today we want to talk about 7 unconventional window treatments that are extreme to say the least.

Welcome to Our New Home!

We are more than pleased to announce the relaunch of CellularWindowShades.com. Our beautiful new site is the result of countless hours of work done by our small but mighty team over the past seven months. We kept the good, added new features to accommodate today’s online shopping experience, and worked tirelessly to create a site we feel is worthy of our customers and of our shades.

We’ve cleaned up the design and added awesome new tools to make navigation easier than ever.  Here are some of our new features:

  • Categorized shopping narrow your search by what specifically interests you.
  • Popular products – see what everyone else is buying right on the homepage.
  • Paypal a fast checkout to make secure shopping simple.
  • Mobile usability – our website is compatible on phones, tablets, and beyond!
  • Blog visit our blog weekly for new advice, design tips, photos, and more.
  • The good ol’ stuff – the measuring guide, installation instructions, free samples, how-to videos, glossary, and our team of customer service representatives and designers are still here, ready to give you a hand when you need it.

When we set out to redesign CellularWindowShades.com, we knew we wanted to provide the best shopping experience possible.  We still make the same top-quality shades and offer the friendliest and most helpful service around, and now we’ve got the site to match. Read More

We No Longer Offers Replacement Parts like T-Handles, Smoothy Replacement Cords & Others

On December 25th, CellularWindowShades.com will no longer offer our customers replacements, which include T-handles, smoothy replacement cords, tassels, brackets, replacement string among other cellular shade related parts and accessories.

For the past 13 years, we’ve been offering our customers these goods. The decision was difficult to make, with the re-launch of the new CellularWindowShades.com and our re-branding; we’ve decided to focus strictly on providing our customers with the best cellular window shades in the industry. We will, however, still sell shade accessories like operating extension poles. Read More

Spring Thaw?

Most of us in the North look forward to days like today… It’s 46 degrees! Blue Skies! SUN! In spring, a young man’s fancy may turn to love, but a North-Easterner’s thoughts first turn to how the snow banks have dwindled — and then to whether the basement is still dry or not!

Spring Thaw

And here, at CellularWindowShades, thoughts also turn to homeowners and their shade requirements. Some are definitely wanting tospruce up the home decor – and those people have taken advantage of our tidy little 10% off all Yellow shades sale. The thaw has a few among us dreaming of the heated days to come — and wondering how people in the West will cope this year with skylights letting in the hot summer sun. Read More

Rock Me, Amadeus

Since CellularWindowShades‘ product line is the SYMPHONY SHADE, I simply cannot let today — 27 January 2011 — pass without mention of:

On This Date, 27 January 1756

WOLFGANG AMADÈ MOZART

I will leave it to others to discuss the many variations of his name. Mozart himself, a bit of a jokester in letters to his elder sister, perhaps accounts for some of the variety. Thanks to his “Latinizing” his name as Wolfgangus Amadeus Mozartus he became forever known as WolfgangAmadeus Mozart! As playwright Peter Schaffer well knew when his Play AMADEUS hit the stage in 1979:

Baby, it’s Cold Outside!

Brrrrrrr….

Woke up this morning to a bit of “arctic chill” — and on the radio, as I drove in, there were further news reports of the SNOW that blanketed PARIS! Check out this story at the Christian Science Monitor. The last time I was in Paris, it was sunny and warm and the month of AUGUST.

Between the cold and the snow, the entire northern hemisphere seems poised on the point of a long, bleak winter. And it’s only December.

Our building, on the rather less-insulated than more-insulated side, has some nice new windows — but even so the chill air just leaks in. My feet freeze, my hands freeze (which makes typing rather a challenge!). I love the natural light and as the sun is weak there’s only so much that comes through anyway. Yet the one benefit of working in a shade-producing company is I have a shade on the floor to ceiling window beside my desk! A top down bottom up cellular shade. Right now the top is pulled down… light is coming in to illuminate the office, but my feet are warming up nicely, thank you.

Just thought I’d pass along some “thoughts of the moment” as I take a break.
