Faux woold blinds or roller shades? Picture
Comments (12)Many moons ago in an apartment I was renting, I hung lace curtains with roller shades behind them. I let the lace cover the windows completely - there was a wall full of narrow windows and I hung one panel on each window - there was some shirring across the top, but not much (which was good, since it didn't obscure the lace). I used the roller shades behind and only pulled them down at night - the rest of the time, they were rolled to the top and very unobtrusive. So in your case, I'd do the same thing - leave the lace all the way across the window (no need for a valance then) and put roller shades beneath. I'd vote roller shades over the blinds becuase: a) they look like they fit the style of the kitchen better b) they can roll up farther than faux wood blinds - usually teh blinds take a good bit of stacking room c) the horizontal lines of the blinds (if you leave them down but open for sun) will compete with and obscure the lace pattern. JMHO! Good luck!...See MoreBest source for online blinds?
Comments (5)We just had the same experience (seller even took the curtain rods, arghhhh) and got petite cell honeycomb blinds and durawood blinds from Smith & Noble. They have great instructions for measuring, the site is good for customizing and we did get some swatches. HOWEVER, while I thought the quality was excellent, prices good, site usable, I found their customer service less than stellar. Be prepared to argue if you order online with some sort of a discount, and double check your statements to be certain you get the right price. In the end it all worked out for us but their poor customer service soured an overall satisfying experience for us. Good luck! Mary...See MoreBlinds for French Doors
