I just took a tour of a model home just to get an idea for a layout for our home. They didn't have traditional blinds. Instead their blinds hid up at the very top of there windows behind the top curtain. When you wanted the down you simply grabbed and pulled. They didn't even look like traditional blinds. Can anyone suggest where I get these and what they are called?

Thanks!

I would just go to a store like Lowes or HomeDepot. They should have a few different kinds for you to choose from. If not, you could always search the net Smile

I'm going to have to do a little research on those, it sounds like something worth looking into. I'm tired of my blinds getting tangled up. Especially since the cats like to play with them.

I actually found a place online that sold them so I ordered a pair to see what they look like in person. I stopped at our local stores and I couldn't seem to find anything like them.

We have installed a few sets of these with some of the new homes that we build. They are very nice and don't get tangled.

We are going to have these in our new home. I think the price is around 40-50 a piece though. They are kind of expensive, but they look 1000X's nicer than traditional blinds.

That price is about right. I don't have them on my windows simply because they are a little pricey, but I helped our neighbor install them on his windows.

These usually have to be custom ordered and can range anywhere from $30-$50 a blind. I would look into more traditional blinds that you can get fro around $10 a piece. Smile
