Do you know where the wood in your rod comes from...?

Do you know where the wood in your rod comes from...
Whitney Anna DOES know where the wood in your drapery rod comes from.


NO, I have not been drinking and this is not a viagra ad.


As the CEO and owner for 25 years of The Antique Drapery Rod Company I sourced wood for drapery rods for many years.


Have you seen where wood from China comes from?
Have you seen the clear cut forests of Madagascar and South America and even the United States?
The destruction of uncontrolled deforestation is horrific. Destruction of plants, animals, insects, biodiversity.

Would you much rather being involved with wood grown in a sustainable, eco system that supports bio diversity? A system that cleans the air and provides a home for birds, bees and all the microorganisms that build a healthy planet.

Welcome to our world!
This is an AMERICAN SUSTAINABLE FOREST!
This is where my wood comes from.
This is happiness and home for animals, birds, bees.
This is the product that I choose to put in our customers homes.
It costs more, a lot more..... but our children are worth it.

Yes, Whitney Anna does know where the wood in that rod comes from.


Lots of love,
Anna

To all the eco cars I loved before...my shower songs

“To all the Eco Cars I loved before."                                   from my shower songs... Anna in 2006 with her families bio diesel truck and bio diesel Mercedes. Words by Anna Walker. Music by "To all the girls I loved before" Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias. You are so blessed you can not hear me sing it. This song will sound much better in the voice between your ears.. To all the eco cars I loved before. I squeezed my legs between their doors. How far they've come along. They're growing much more strong. To all the eco cars I loved before. My bio diesel's and their tanks of grease. They gave me great environmental peace. They rattled and they chugged. They smelled of french fries and brought bugs. My Mercedes and Ford pickup conversation piece. The winds of change are always blowing. And again I trade away. My BMW electric showing.. a lack of range that shocks today. To hybrid cars I once possessed. My Prius and my Volt were best. Unti

Loyalty, from both sides. Meet Angelika who worked with us for twenty five years.

Loyalty, from both sides.  Meet Angelika who worked with us for twenty five years. Meet Angelica, who came to work for us from 1992 till 2017. She has an artists eye for detail and managed around 20 employees in our hand painted finishes. Angelica is kind and steadfast with her staff and tries to be easy on me. I know who I really work for....  She works with me on over 62 finishes! Many of these finishes require up to 7 layers of paint with a long dry time in between. Many designers are surprised to learn we really ARE made in USA. Not just assembled or designed in the USA. We actually hand finish each piece.  Angelica has learned ancient techniques I brought from Florence for layering primer paints, base colors, bottom brushwork color, top brushwork color, clear sealer coat. These layers and brushwork add depth and a unique hand painted finish to each piece. She is an artist with a very critical eye. Angelica is a great reason for made in USA! She is kind, loyal, h
