Memorial Day vs. Veterans Day

May 25, 2017
imgres

Do you get Memorial Day confused with Veterans Day? The truth is, it happens more often than you think. Here’s a handy cheat sheet to help you differentiate between the two (and be a hit at your Memorial Day BBQ):

Memorial Day:

  • Began as “Decoration Day” (originally celebrated on May 30th) as a day to honor those who were killed in any past war by ‘decorating’ their graves with flowers.
  • Celebrated the last Monday in May.

Veterans Day:

  • Rooted to “Armistice Day,” a day set aside to celebrate the end of World War I in particular.
  • The honor was expanded in 1954 to include all Veterans, and thus renamed Veterans Day to reflect the change.
  • Observed on November 11th.

As we attend gatherings with friends and family this weekend, let us not forget the sacrifices that were made for our freedoms. Danmer honors the brave men and women of the U.S. Military.  We wish you a safe and happy Memorial Day, from our family to yours.

Share The Love

February 13, 2016

designerroller_cordless_childsroom_2Yes, love is in the air!  Valentine’s Day brings cards, candies, flowers, and jewelry. But why should chocolate makers and jewelry shops have all the fun? There are so many ways to add a personal touch to the Valentine’s holiday.

How about some special decorating ideas for Valentine’s Day? OK, so it’s not Halloween or Christmas, but there are plenty of ways to set the mood for that special someone.  There are always heart-shaped ceramics, candy dishes, and pillows that you can pick up from the seasonal aisle at the local superstore. But there are also plenty of fun DIY projects if you like to think outside of the heart-shaped box, so to speak.

How about a heart-shaped arrangement of small rose-colored candles and a trail of rose petals are a lovely start to a romantic evening?  And for the less intimate guests, homemade Valentine cards and streamers and can easily be strewn across the window or fireplace, each depicting hearts or cupid-shaped silhouettes.

For the more adventurous decorator, the windows are where it’s at!  Everything from temporary decals, to custom rose wreaths, to light-up decorations can ignite your Valentine’s spirit for that special someone or for the whole neighborhood!

If you decide to decorate your windows, just remember that framing your adornments is important.  White or neutral-colored window coverings tend to work best with shades of red.  If you’re in the market for new coverings, this Valentine’s day is the perfect time to show your home some love by investing in some elegant, long-lasting, durable window shutters.  Call (800) 684-3434 to take advantage of our Valentine’s Day Buy One, Get One 50% off Special!  (Your windows will love you for it.)

American Pride

November 12, 2015

unnamedIn honor of Veterans Day 2015, we at Danmer would like to thank the proud men and women who have represented the United States in all branches of our armed forces.  Without their dedication and the sacrifices they have made for the common good, the United States would not be the proud nation that it is today.            

Did you know that the national holiday we celebrate this week was originally created to mark the end of World War I on November 11th, 1918? Specifically it marks the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning—the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918.

However much has changed in the observance of this sacred holiday over the years.  This day was originally declared “Armistice Day,” with the holiday set aside to honor those who lost their lives in “the great war,” as WW1 was called. We were asked to remember November 11th as a day to enjoy the peace our nation had found and had hoped would follow.  Nearly 40 years later (in 1947), the holiday was renamed “Veterans Day,” and would be repurposed to honor American soldiers who’ve served in any of America’s conflicts.                 

Danmer is a proud supporter of American values and is making efforts to help rebuild America’s economy.  Danmer Shutters are made and assembled right here in the USA, so we know that investing in your home is an investment in rebuilding America.  Visit us at https://www.danmer.com to learn more.

Halloween Décor for Your Home

October 27, 2015

 

unnamedHalloween is here, and decorating your home to be ‘spooky’ can be fun for you and your whole family. Adding that “wow” factor to your Halloween display can turn your home into a real neighborhood showcase.   

So, what are the best ways to keep up with the “Munsters” in creating a truly creepy, yet tasteful experience for your kids and your neighbors?  Keep your main focus on your home’s exterior and entryway.  The first thing that your trick-or-treaters see on their way to your front door is crucial in setting the mood for your ghoulish gathering.  Here are three simple tips to help you get started:

  • EXTERIOR “HORROR” LIGHTING.  The right lights positioned at just the right angle (typically from below), can help create a creepy ambiance!
  • WEBS.  Pre-packaged or homemade webs are budget friendly, and effective! Using large webs strategically placed can have a ghostly and fun effect, while getting your visitors into the Halloween spirit.
  • SCARY WINDOWS.  Silhouetted window decorations can be accomplished for pennies on the dollar. Draping a few bats along your shutters, or using spooky skeletons to peer out of your other window coverings can make for a very frightful sight indeed!

Remember the basics while adding your own personal flair, and you just may end up with the most haunted house on the block!

Happy Halloween!
