Window treatments: where do you buy them?
I need new curtains in the living room and a new shade (Roman?) for the kitchen. And I'm having a hard time finding something that I like.
Where did you buy yours?
ETA: I've so far tried JC Penny, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Target.
Re: Window treatments: where do you buy them?
Thanks.
I misspoke. I'm looking for a Roman shade or rolling shade for the kitchen, not blinds. Sorry. I corrected my original post.
We got our shades and blinds online, I will have to ask Brian where. Just don't get the stringless shades, they worked like crap.
Costco carries the Graber brand of shades and blinds online. THey must sell a lot because they used to have a sales rep in stores on weeekend.

Cordless blinds are all we buy. We have them in our first house and in this house as well. We love them.
What didn't you like about them MB?
THe cordless blinds stopped working after only a few years. THey would never fold up right and then they stopped working all together. For a couple of years, we couldn't even open them up (all six of them were broke). Brian said he had issues from the begining.
Finally when I was working from home and staying home with girls, I put my foot down and insisted we buy new blinds. I couldn't stand not having natural light come into the house.
In our kitchen we have Levolor, cordless shades that will either push up from the bottom or pull down from the top. They are either from Home Depot or Lowes, I can't remember.
I love them because our kitchen window faces the street, and it's nice to be able to pull the top down to still get natural light at the end of the day, and have privacy. We have had them for a year and a half, I think, and I am still very happy with them.
This link hopefully gives you an idea how they look and work.
