The Before: The strings in our pull up blinds were giving out and we needed to come up with something to replace them. Off to the Home Depot to see what was available off the rack in the right size. We decided on some wood Faux blinds…
The In Between: Dear was able to install them and shorten them to fit our windows. He’s such a handy guy. We needed to remove 3 slats.
The After: We are happy with the result. The drapes we have are darkening drapes so we can block out more of the light when we need to. I like the fact that we can get airflow without pulling the blinds up…
To see more Met Monday visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

I love the look… I have some ready made faux wood blinds and I love them. Easy to clean, inexpensive and you get em right away!

Nice job “Dear”! Good choice!
They look fabulous. My DH still needs to shorten a couple of ours, but I really like them. They work great. Hugs, Marty
I love faux wood blinds. I have white ones throughout my house, except in the living room where I just put in plantation shutters. IMHO, the many variations in light and privacy control you have with blinds can’t be beat by any other window treatment.
Yes! Much better! I love wood blinds. I bet it gives a lot more light to the room. Did your hubby say “wirty dords” like mine generally does? LOL
Blessings, Barb
I like the new look! You are so fortunate to have a handy husband—mine needs help with a lightbulb 🙂
Those look just like the Home Depot blinds we hung in the master bathroom 🙂 They give your windows a really nice finished look. And it’s good that they allow for air flow while still giving you some privacy.
Thanks for your kind comment about my guest bedroom 🙂

It is amazing the difference wood blinds look than the vinyl one! I just wish there was an easy way to clean either!!! Great change!
