So, I've repainted my master bedroom. Time to dump that old curtain and

some ideas and ended up taking to someone for a rough estimate...


$800+ for ONE 54"x54" window? Granted they were nice dual function

shades, but the material might be worth about $5... SHEESH!


There's more to a product than just the material in them.


Ever watch "How It's Made" on Discovery/Science Channel?


I know that, but still...that's insane markup.

What really burns me is that I'm in Canada and I'm looking at about 5 times
the cost for blinds here than I could order if I was in the U.S.


Yeah, your problem is in you're in CANADA.
