OK, you've got me concerned now. I just came back from my local Lowes
home center with information on how to measure my windows for those
cellular blinds. Mine shouldn't be that expensive, but I've been
bracing for sticker shock anyway.

I'm looking at the cordless cellular blinds and the roman shades. I'm
sure that the ones I finally choose are going to be the most
expensive. I'm just tired of the bland mini-blinds that I have had in
the house since I bought it. This place needs some jazzing up.



I was lucky enough to find really high quality pleated shade for $35 that
fits my window perfectly.

I know that there's overhead for blind manufacturers, but in reality how
many folks do you know that are willing to shell out even $250 per window
for decent quality shades.

If the manufacturers would cut their prices by half, I know that their sales
would at least double.
