Welcome to our new website! In case you never saw the previous Faux Iron website, this one is expanded to highlight our dealers with our Dealer Snapshots and to provide more product information.

This week we are celebrating our relationship with Budget Blinds as we are attending their annual convention this week in Orlando. It is also a pleasure to feature Budget Blinds dealer, Lori Sanders of Denton/Keller on our home page. Lori is our top Budget Blinds dealer!

January is the traditional month for hundreds of Budget Blinds franchisees to gather for their annual Convention. This month we’ll convene at the tropically-themed Gaylord Palms in Orlando, FL. I can’t wait to see this dynamic group again this year. Budget Blinds conventions are a perfectly blended mix of fun, training and updated product knowledge – all within an inspirational hotel that understands how to host a mega-party. Faux Iron Solutions is a preferred vendor for the North American franchise giant with 1,100 locations in 47 states and Canada.
Windows are what Budget Blinds is all about and that is why Tableaux® complements their main product offers of blinds, shutters and shades. Tableaux® adds drama, high style and art with our library of custom designs and finishes to replicate the elegance of wrought iron. Here is one of Lori’s favorite Tableaux® projects. Be sure to visit her Dealer Snapshot on our site!

Inspiration for the New Year can be right under your nose!

That was the case when I discovered this beautiful Interiors by Decorating Den Dream Room photo that we’ve had tucked away in our files. Every year Interiors by Decorating Den holds a contest among its designer body for special awards in several Dream Room categories. Last year, this tastefully-edited room was entered by Cathi Lloyd.

Naturally our eye goes to the graceful Tableaux® faux wrought iron window treatments placed in the transom windows between the drapes. The design is Reggio, an open, Italian pattern that works well in transitional interior design that blends traditional with contemporary elements. The touch of wrought iron harkens back to European estates and chateaux with wrought iron grillwork on every window and door. This warm room both soothes and inspires. A special thank you to Cathi for this outstanding work!

Maria O'Connor of Naperville, IL learned her trade from mentor Brenda Knupp who saw her talent and hired her to accessorize the firm's interior design projects. From Brenda, Maria gained confidence and skills to work with a wide range of clients focusing on providing value and professional acumen. We're glad she loves and shows Tableaux® as skillfully as she does. A little known fact about our company is that it is due to our creative dealers who drive product development by coming up with new applications and displays for Tableaux®. It is their inventiveness and enthusiasm for all the wonderful ways to use Tableaux® that keeps us ticking and their businesses exciting.
