    OMG - Thank you for "hating" blinds and shutters. Have lived in my home for 28 years. We purchased white wood blinds for the majority of our windows when we moved in. At the time, it was the trend to get wood blinds because they were such an improvement over the horrible "mini" blind craze of the 80's. Had I known what a pain they are to care for, I would not have gotten them. They are dust magnets and take too much time to clean. My husband loves them. And from some of the comments, I see that a lot of men still prefer them. Taking a chance on saying, those guys aren't the ones cleaning them. Yes, I still have those blinds and I despise them. Room by room, I'm replacing them with shades or sheers with drapery panels. Some rooms need only the sheers. Thanks for the fabulously complete tutorial on everything for windows!!

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yes to shades, yes to sheers! lol blinds seem to be the practical choice when you start decorating the home because it’s quick, easy, and inexpensive. But once you start to truly “design” your space, you may see that there are SO many better choices out there! 🙌🏻 Thank you for watching Valri!

    I love my plantation shutters. They are like furniture for your windows. Mine are wooden. They last forever. Expensive up front but you can change your room many times and colors without the added expense of doing expensive window treatments each time. I love the look of them from the street view. I would think that all interior decorators would not like them - less income for them., I like the way they function also.

Try it on inexpensive fabric for a spare room before spending too much money in expensive fabric.... the trick is ironing between each step! Pressing the seams before and after sewing, will give it that professional finished look.

      Julie Khuu Good! I inherited those with my new home! I live the look as well, and they are so convenient! However, I have low windows in the corner next to that which have pull-down cellular blinds that are white while the others are a burlap-colored woven color. Would you change the blinds color? I mostly leave them open, though because my yard is beautiful. I’d actually like to put a banquette in that area, because it’s next to a dining room table, and it seems crowded. Thank you, Julie, for all your responses to me and everyone else. I can’t believe you make time for this! When do you sleep! 🌻💕

      I beg to differ with you on plantation shudders. They can solve a multitude of problems. I used them in my street facing floor length windows. This allowed me to close the bottom half to give privacy & sun protection for my furniture. The top half could be left opened at the same time for light and view. I did the same thing in my kitchen eating area was in a street facing bay window. Then I wasn't on display while eating.
      I solved the same privacy problem in my new home with plantation shudders. Closing the bottom half a must do for privacy and I get light through the top half and a spectacular mountain view.
      I can't imagine another window treatment that would have worked in these situations.

      @JulieKhuu  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I like the look of sheers and drapery panels myself, but if that’s too much fabric for you, try panel shades that stack up when open! They look like long shades, but slide on a track.

      Hi Julie, I live on the lake and have sliding doors. Right now I have custom drapery panels which just sit on sides with sliding sheers with the blinds inside. I have to have something that protects my furnishings from the sun. I am redecorating and going to get new drapes and something for inside of window. Its a fight with my husband, he wants it wide open 24-7. I have Pottery Barn furniture and rugs and expensive art work. Any suggestions?

Also found a chandelier there which was missing only one glass ball, which I was able to replace easily. Finding even a couple nice pieces will help the budget, and a designer could easily work with these, but I've got ideas in mind (from Julie! and others) that I want to try. May your home be an oasis! : )

      I'm 66 myself and also financially challenged. I'm grateful mom taught me to sew. I wish I'd learned carpentry, electrical, and plumbing. But there's one thing I got right. I went to the best garden center in my area and hired a landscape architect. For only 50 dollars, we talked, she measured, and a week later, she yielded a scaled diagram. She did an expert design for the entire front of my home including the recommended plants and a breakdown of what it would cost for labor and material. We negotiated. It cut their profit so low that she nearly declined proceeding. Her crew cut out the sod and laid the brick edge. They planted the ornamental trees. I did the rest myself, grading the soil, the landscape fabric, lugging home and digging in all the shrubs and other plants. Gorgeous. I studied a lot of gardening books and learned enough to know I should hire a trained professional to avoid novice and costly mistakes. I redid my mother's front landscape by the same method after my father passed. He loved those overgrown evergreens. She did not. The point is you can sometimes barter work you cannot do yourself in exchange for things you can do. Perhaps you are active in your local church community and there's an electrician with fond memories of home cooked meals. Maybe you have a craft you could sell on line that brings in enough spare income for decor.

      @@JulieKhuu There's also the issue of how you even clean draperies and shades. It's almost like carpet versus hardwood floors (I would love the look of curtains; but, not the expense of attempting to keep them clean and fur free). If I just designed a project and then got to walk away from it and not deal with it 5, 10, 15 years down the road then the pretty would be the point. I guess though also in interior design you are working with clients that can obviously afford to redesign everything every 10 years (or less).

I have I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to do my window treatments and what type of window treatment I want. My view outside every single window is beautiful ( woodsy with a creek) I love the light and I knew I wanted cheer curtains I just wasn't sure quite how to incorporate them until now. I've decided after this video I take my time in fine the perfect panels to flank each side of my windows. It was so much important information here including and especially you remembering the good old fashioned hooks we had to slide on the back of the old heavy drapes and how to incorporate it on a more contemporary ring to slide onto a ride you didn't miss anything.
