Comments (2)Just checked for a can in the basement, couldn't find any. Pretty sure it was Dromedary Camel (SW)...See MoreLevolor Cellular Shades at Lowe's
Comments (7)Top Down Bottom Up (a/k/a TDBU) is great! I love having the light come in from the top half and having the privacy on the bottom. I have TDBU in my master bedroom and bathroom where privacy is important. Neighbors are not that close, but like the feeling of privacy anyhow. If you don't need the privacy, it may or may not be worth the extra. My TDBU is on Hunter Douglas roman shades and they are cordless also. TDBU will need two cords on each window -- one for up and one for down. That is a pain if you have a lot of windows. You can go cordless, but cordless means you need good access in front of the windows to reach top and bottom. I am in the process of this dilemma myself in my living/room sunroom space with 6 windows. I assume cellular shades have both options (corded/cordless) available with TDBU. I got some TDBU woven woods in one room and they did not have a cordless option. Had to have 2 cords....See MoreAdvice needed for new home window treatments
Comments (4)I agree on front of the house bedrooms, but it won’t be grandkids’ space, which will be the middle room connected to the front room of the Jack and Jill bath. There’s a gorgeous view of a pond in all the rooms on the back of the house, which are a sun room, family room, breakfast room and master bedroom. That didn’t leave other options for seldom used bedrooms. Here is the floor plan, along with a couple of photos. The first photo is looking in through the foyer; second is looking at the pond from the master bedroom. There are cedar beams in several places. There will be white oak engineered flooring through out most of it where there’s not tile. That was an early floor plan, so the flooring listed may not be accurate. I would say the style is craftsman with some elements of modern farmhouse. I think the woven wood blinds with blackout liner will be lovely in rooms where there has to be light control. So far, until we live in the house, that will only be the front bedroom and master bedroom. Thank you for your help! I’m just wanting a uniform look on the front - so thinking a dark liner will match the darkness of uncovered windows. I don’t want to put up blinds on the second floor at all for now, as it will be unfinished for a while....See MoreTricky windows need new window treatments
Comments (14)I'm sorry but I can't take the cornice down yet - too hard to take down/put back up. Behind it, there are 4 sets of sheer covered vertical blinds. All will be coming down when we do the project. As far as what we need for window coverings, it is mostly decorative and then for some moderate amount of privacy. Sun is not an issue as the windows face north. I wonder if something like this would work but not sure with the windows and space between them being so narrow. I'm ok with doing only roller shades or roman shades but like the panels to soften things up and makes it a little dressier since this is our living room not family room....See Moremrshanson1
