None of the windows in our house are currently covered up with blinds or window treatments so we’re on the hunt for the best priced ones. Who knew there were so many different choices!
We’re leaning towards faux-wood blinds because they’re well priced and look nice.
These will work for the majority of the windows in our house because they have that inset where you can hang them BUT the front windows in the formal living room and our bedroom are older and don’t have that inset. We’re trying to decide if we want to just attach the blinds above the windows and have them hang down or just have curtains/drapes OR both. Thoughts??
I kind of think attaching the blinds above the windows would look silly because I’ve never seen it done before but who knows.
We don’t want the rooms to get too dark so if we just did curtains we might do a double rod and have a lighter white curtain hanging on the inside and then a thicker colored drape that we can close at night.
Eventually, we’re planning on replacing the front windows because they are older. In the meantime though, we still want our house to look good.
I’ll post pictures later of what the windows looks like so you can see what we’re dealing with.

I vote YES for the faux-wood blinds! Good choice 🙂 I love the ones I have on some of the windows in my house.
Emily, check out this blog http://www.thriftydecorchick.com she just did a post on blinds, bamboo, outside the windows and waaay above them on the wall. See what you think. We have faux wood blinds in our back tv room. I do like them, it gives us A LOT of privacy (as in…no LIGHT) when they are closed.
