lots and lots of blinds and shades.
I am considered an expert, since
I've been doing it for the past twenty years.
But,
that doesn't mean that I think that
every window should be covered
this way.
In fact, personally, I hate vertical blinds.
I cringe, for instance, when someone
chooses to buy verticals for their sliding
glass door, after they've purchased
beautiful wood blinds for their
windows.
If you have verticals on your slider.... and
you hate them, here is a solution you might
like.

This is what I did for my 6-foot
sliding glass door in my dining room.
I used 3 panels that I bought from Target for
about $20 each. Then I purchased a decorative
rod and rings from The Home Depot for about
$15.
Instead of using the pocket at the top of
the panel, I hung the bar a little higher
and clipped the rings to the top,
so it can slide.
by placing the rings across each other?
My guest room has two side by side
tall windows. They used to have faux
wood blinds.
But, since they got ruined (by some little boys
who shall remain nameless), I came up with
this look.
Since these don't slide, I bought some beautiful tie backs.
And during the day I pull them back to let in light.
Did you notice the valance?
It's the only thing I've ever sewn
and yes, I'm pretty darn proud :)
These curtains looking very nice thanks for post on this blog.
