Well, I posted this on Saturday that we hung the new Levolor rattan roman shade/blind in our bathroom. I really like the look of it. I love roman shades and this is the first one I have found to fit these tiny windows in this house. There is, however, a major problem with this blind that I don’t think I can live with day in and day out. It doesn’t have a liner and it’s sorta see-through. In the daytime, you can see out pretty well. We discovered Saturday night that, at night, if you are out back, and someone is in the bathroom with the light on, then you can see right in. Tim said he could tell what I had on, or NOT on. Argh. This is our bathroom after all, where from time to time, I’m either (gasp) partially or totally not dressed or else doing something that I might not want anyone outside to witness.
So… I’m going to have to go shopping again and find another blind. Either one with a lining or else some kind of window treatment. Tim wants to just put a curtain over the blind. Which would normally work for most windows, but this one is right beside the shower, and Tim tends to spray water when he’s in the shower and it would get wet. And, these windows are so narrow (23″) and I have always had a terrible time trying to find a premade window treatment for a window that size. I am hoping that I can find a blind like this, but lined. Wouldn’t that be easy – but you know what, I bet you anything I won’t be able to find it! 🙂
You could look at Penney’s….that’s where I got those wooden blinds for our tv room. The windows in there were both odd sizes and I had to order something especially to fit and they did that. I think you were with me when I first checked, so I would check there if I were you. Also, I think I remember that you can order special sizes at Walmart.com also. Another good place for stuff like that, but could be pricy is Smith-Noble.com. They have great looking window treatments. I’m with you, I don’t like it when you can see in from the outside to the inside, no matter whether you have a fenced yard or not, I would be uncomortable with it as well!
Oh, and you can get the rattan type blinds like I have with liners at Penney’s but I got the ones without….I just picked one that was more tightly woven and we didn’t think that this particular one needed the liner. Check it out 🙂
