The window behind my kichen sink needed some help. The afternoon sun coming in is BLINDING to say the least. We avoid the whole kichen from 1 to 5.
In the past I've tried mini-blinds (yuck!), a roller shade (broke within 6 months- plus was a pain to roll down) and cafe curtains(couldn't stand how they hung and cluttered up the display area I had).
Nothing seemed to work.
Last week I broke down and went to Menards to find something.
Anything!
I came home with a cellular shade in white.
Installing and shortening the length just about did-me-in. You'd think I was a salior - - it was that bad!
But it's all good now - I'm back to normal. I love how they still let light in and gives the room a cheerful glow without the glare of sunshine in your eyes.
I added a dishcloth valance I made a while back.
And the best part - - It completly disapears behind the valance!
(sorry about the cluttered photo - - working on a few changes around the kitchen and this is the only kid free zone to be found)

I love how it looks - I have mini blinds which are ugliest things ever invented. I just might also go to Menards tomorrow! I like how it disappears under that darling valance. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the valance!! When I started reading this post I was thinking about a photo I saw in BH&G a while back....had a pretty window like yours, with open shelves across it with little plants....blocked some of the light AND something nice and living to look at!
