Living Green should save you money-not cost you!
This 20 year old Hunter Douglas aluminum mini
blind is now ready for another 20!  Notice how
smooth the slats are.  This is what .008 guage
will get you-enduring beauty & function! When
shoppers ask us what the difference is between
.006 guage and .008-This is it...The owner's
advice for maintenance is wash in the bathtub
once a year.
Bring us your old blinds
and shades!
  • Rather than just throw out that old
    blind, Bring it to us and we'll scrap
    those old parts.  Why use old parts?    
    Because they are better than nothing.  
    Help that elderly neighbor keep their
    set of blinds matching in their home!  
    That old colonial blue palstic endcap is
    worth gold when it is the only one
    available anywhere.
  • We recycle aluminum & steel.
  • Can we skip the expensive printed
    brochure and just e-mail it to you? or
    find it on this website?  Help us control
    costs and keep prices down along with
    saving some trees.
