Dumb question re cordless cellular shades
Comments (13)Not a dumb question at all! I just barely can reach my top downs with no furniture in front of them. In another room I have been debating cordless/corded/tdbu/bu with 6 windows where I DO have furniture in front of one of them. I have been wondering how to deal with it, when I recently had an epiphany. I was visiting my sister after her hip replacement surgery and she had all these interesting implements for various tasks. As soon as I saw her sock puller, I had a vision of a DIY cordless TDBU implement. Here it is. It works great. The L-shape was actually more useful than the cup-hook but it varies depending on direction I was going. My existing cordless tabs have a hole in them. Not all will have this hole, but I think that is ok. The hook can still grab as needed. I could do mine w/o using the hole....See MoreCellular shades - 3/8" double or 3/4" single?
Comments (4)Thanks for the response, I had already ordered the 3/4". Sometimes posting here helps me even before I get responses, forces me get all my thoughts in order! I'm buying Bali through Costco, don't have a 3/4" heavy option. I've been living with black paper shades on the windows for several months so excited to have finally placed the order!...See MoreTop/down cellular shades - Blinds to Go
Comments (32)I have 4 very large 48 X 95 inch cellular blinds from Blinds to Go. I did not get top down. Mine are white but appear slightly gray because they are black out blinds and lined inside the cells with silver. I have Hunter Douglas in my other rooms. The difference I have found is in the strings. The Blinds to Go use white strings for the pulls and they get dirty, Hunter Douglas uses ball chain and is a continuous loop. The Blinds to Go have had to be repaired. The blinds got shorter and shorter over time and uneven. It seems the strings inside were catching or shrinking. I must say that the company repaired them and quickly, but I had climb up 12 feet to take them down and put them up again several days later and in the mean time I had no window covering in my bedroom. For me the price difference was worth buying Hunter Douglas. I purchased them through Home Depot. Also the Blinds to Go installer was horrible and they had to send me someone else to fix the initial install twice. Also the first batch of delivered shades were incorrectly measured. The Home Depot installer was very professional and timely....See MoreShade that folds down from the top of windows?
Comments (11)Jay06, thanks for the link. Since my windows are so wide, cordless is not available. I honestly think I can sew the upside down Roman shade or roller shade if I can find an extra long dowel that can support the weight in the middle. I think a wooden dowel would sag, so I am looking for an aluminum rod or a magnet that is 89" long. I found an oval closet rod, but the diameter is a little large. I just need to keep searching....See MoreRosey Time
