Can you tell me where you got these blinds? They're exactly what I'm looking for!

Unfortunately we had the whole downstairs and front windows fit with inside mount bamboo and they would be high-water if I tried to change them now. However I have several rooms upstairs that are lowes trim to fit as inside mount now, but have some extra length. My question is since my lowes trim to fit are trimmed to fit inside will they look to short(width wise) to mount them outside? If not I think I will at least change those. Too bad I didn't see this sooner I'd prefer the outside mount for the other windows as well, but no way we are getting them re-done.

You have the same windows that I do and I really thinks this looks so much better than my 2" faux wood blinds!Jammieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18371336699072774103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-48283113548211532612012-12-21T11:29:24.607-05:002012-12-21T11:29:24.607-05:00I think your post may have a virus or something at...I think your post may have a virus or something attached to it. I get your post by email and when I clicked to read the entire post, I was hijacked to a site that told me it was Microsoft (although its URL had nothing about microsoft in it) and it needed to 'clean my computer' because I had viruses. When I got off that page and ran my own scan, I had no viruses. Just wanted to warn you and your readers that this may happen to them and it is not legit.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571005042239792021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-79028584529551173432012-12-21T09:54:30.028-05:002012-12-21T09:54:30.028-05:00I did a lot of outside mounts in our former home c...I did a lot of outside mounts in our former home cuz the windows were sorta odd sized. It was easier to just give myself the extra width of a ready-made rather than the pricey custom-sized ones I would have needed.<br /><br />LOVED that stud finder line! I've done that too :-) <br /><br />One thing to remember: Mounting high is terrrrrrific! Love it.Just make sure the length, when opened, will go all the way to the bottom of the window ;-) I had a client mount their own and then said "OH no! They don't fall all the way to the bottom of the window!" So we had to fix that! Haha!<br /><br />I too love bamboo!But our current home's style really fits more with the blinds. Oh..I also LOVE that magnetic arm band!

Most of them are outside mounted, and banded. I also lined mine, since I've never met a bamboo shade that couldn't be seen through at night, especially with lights on in the room. The worst part about that is that they give the illusion of privacy inside, but they might as well be transparent!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299717057455588356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-73564035904595461462012-12-20T17:12:47.930-05:002012-12-20T17:12:47.930-05:00Just wanted to say that you make me smile :)

It blew my mind - it looks so much better than covering the windows up and it totally makes them look bigger! <br /><br />Also, putting the stud finder on your husband - that one had me cracking up, haha :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406668508655100543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-69438303823622603652012-12-20T16:47:12.828-05:002012-12-20T16:47:12.828-05:00Girl--Go get a snuggie.

I lived in northern IN (north of Ft Wayne--little town Auburn) and I loved every minute in that snuggie in the long winter. I had to psych myself up to "de-snug" to leave the couch.<br />Mine was an off-brand gift.

I struggled for ages with the asthetic of hanging them on the wall, decided to get over it like a big girl and realised they actually look really good, especially surrounded by curtains. Now I never thought I would say this about a tool...but I love that screwdriver, must have, need it!Sarah @ 20 Statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721873132031031397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-72461672671088574752012-12-20T13:27:41.333-05:002012-12-20T13:27:41.333-05:00I have a leopard print snuggie and I love it!!!

Great idea.<br />Speaking of "seen on TV," my oldest grandson is a sucker for those ads. But the best one was when he was watching a reality show with his mom and saw a celebrity with a bowling alley in his house. He was amazed! Right there and then he decided that he wanted to save all his allowances to build a bowling alley in his own house some day.
