10 Reasons Why You Should Use Fine Designs for Blinds

For the life of me, I do not understand why anyone would want to order blinds over the internet!

That is one of my pet peeves…a poorly made sunburst! To change the thinking process, I tend to swag fabric over posts, drapery hardware or even door knobs to draw the eye up and back down to emphasize the window without covering it up.
