When we finished the Fullmer kitchen a few weeks ago, there was actually one element that we were still waiting on and a few of you guessed it–window treatments! After the new windows went it, it was hard to think about covering them. But the truth is, good window treatments don’t cover windows, they compliment them. That is what ultimately lead us to the beautiful, Deluxe Woven Wood Shades from Blinds.com.
We ordered a bunch of samples from Blinds.com (you get the first 10 free!) and quickly narrowed down our nine favorites. NINE!
San Lucas Flaxseed
Covington Silver
Mandalay Liana
Capri-Natural
Milos-Cotton
Kula Coconut
San Lucas Lichen
Linen Stripe Blue White
Hampton Barley  001
When we shared a few of our favorites on Instagram, there was a big push from the majority of our followers over there to use the Linen Stripe option and I get it–it’s gorgeous!! The Linen Stripe Vanilla-Stone on top of the pile to the right is equally so. But when it came down to it, we were looking for a supporting character. We were looking for a shade that would block the glaring sun sets at night, add some subtle texture and warmth to the room, be beautiful and complimentary when closed. When we held the samples next to the other wood tones and finishes in the room, the Capri-Natural Deluxe Woven Wood Shade was the winner! We did the cordless option (the only way to go with little ones!) with a light-filtering backing.
It arrived and the installation was a breeze. It took Chris all of 10 minutes to get both hung.
Isn’t that texture dreamy?? Â The shades are so easy to pull down and push up and they actually ADD so much to the space.
It’s a warm, textural, quiet softness the windows desperately needed. They connect the other wood tones and really soften the windows. Don’t be surprised if we use these same shades all over our new home now!
We carried the same shades into their living room to cover their HUGE window they had there. Because the window was so large, we had to use two shades together, but it works well and the Fullmer’s love the ease of blocking out the afternoon rays now.
Blinds.com is having a big summer sale, up to 40% off site wide through August 4th so now is the perfect update your window treatments. (I’m gotta use that pinstripe one SOMEWHERE!)
Ps! You can see the rest of the kitchen sources right here. And the budget breakdown right here. And the look for less here.
Hi! This is such a helpful post! Could you send me the link or details of the blackout shades you used at the lake house? And is there a video to help with installation? Thanks.
We used these ones at the lake house!
Hey Chris and Julia! I am ordering this exact color for a bedroom and was wondering what option you choose for the twill edging? Thank you!
Will you be posting about the Fullmer’s living room and the sources there??
Thank you. I believe there’s a lot of help here in a post about choosing and sourcing blinds. Surely that’s something that a lot of people are doing at any time, and many for the first time. We are all at different stages of our home journeys.
Also I am greatly enjoying your instagram stories about the phase 1 updates you two are doing to make your new home comfortable for you, as you and your contractors start to tackle the major issues.
We feel really good about the content we’re putting out right now. The one day we didn’t have a post here, we did a play by play demoing our kitchen on Instagram for a budget friendly phase 1 renovation. We are working hard to diversify our content and are so happy you’re along for the ride.
Does the shade in the Fullmer kitchen have a valance or did you select the flat waterfall option? Ordering for our kitchen and love the look you chose for this kitchen.
