Latest home improvement

Part of my Budget Blinds purchase were these plantation shutters for the living room. I have wanted this type of window treatment for a long time. They are custom made and of real wood.

I had them make the split at the same level as the divide in the large center picture window. They operate very easily. Closing one slat closes all of them in that part.

I can even open them with the sofa in place.

Open slats to let in light. Close slats for privacy.

New top-down/bottom-up honeycomb blinds

I went to a home remodel contractor fair recently. It was sponsored by my neighborhood newspaper. I was looking bathroom project contactors, floor refinished, exterior painter and fencing.

I found a bathroom contractor, floor refinished and exterior painter. I also found a Budget Blinds franchisee. I have been wanting to get top-down/bottom-up honeycomb blinds for a long, long time.

Below are the before and after photos from the sun room. There are 10 windows on the sunroom alone. I also got a new blind for dining room and kitchen.

The photos do not show the old lady shears that I've had since I moved in 20+ years ago! The roller blonds all still work. I can only imagine how old they are.

Steve, owner, of Budget Blinds of Edina was fantastic.
