Simple white blinds

White faux blinds. Just seeing them on my windows makes me happy! Why? Well, when we bought our house, all the windows had the cheap, white, plastic blinds on them. Well, most of them are semi white. Half of them are very yellowed from the sun. But they work. They cover the windows. They do the job. But they just don't look very attractive.


Gradually, over time, we are replacing those old blinds with 2 1/2" white faux wood blinds. Right after we moved in, I started researching and pricing the faux wood blinds. And soon discovered, that replacing them was going to happen gradually, not at all once. Partly because we have A LOT of windows and several of them are rather large. Like 93" wide large.

The first one we replaced was in our family room...one of the large 93" windows. I ordered them from Blindsaver and we loved them! Totally changed the look of the room! Next, our bedroom blinds. Again, the window is 93" and had two sets of smaller blinds covering the window. We replaced it with one set of blinds and we totally loved it!

And now....we replaced the guest room (I broke the ones in there while cleaning the window), sewing room, my office and front living room downstairs. Ahhhh.....soooo much nicer! Especially my office. When we moved in, that set of blinds was broken, so I've never had blinds in here. The afternoon sun hits my computer in such a way that makes it non-usable for a couple of hours each day. So to have blinds that I can shut out the sun during that time is fabulous!

Every time I see those white blinds....in my office or bedroom or anywhere else, I smile. 'Cause I just like them that much!
