Window Treatment Replacement
When we first moved into our house there were cheap metal blinds installed in every window in glamorous colors like silver on the main floor and master bedroom, coordinating so well with the navy blue in the kids rooms. I was actually really excited about them, wanting to make roman shades from mini blinds. However, I decided it was important to have the cord free wherever possible. Last year we updated the main floor with cordless honeycomb shades in white, and left the kids rooms for another date.
I recently took a trip to Lowes and saw that they are now exclusively selling cordless faux wood blinds that can be cut to size in store. That is perfect for my “I want it now” philosophy with home improvement projects.
The kids always love driving the carts, and I love that it buys me a few more minutes of happy shopping time.
Of course the one window size that I needed she was sold out, but they had the same width available but at a longer length. I was willing to remove the bottom slats but the blind itself was $10 more. After talking to Joy, my helpful store associate, she was able to give me the blind for the same price as the size I really needed, saving me $10. I was so relieved to get the blind home and start to install it in the boys bedroom.
Its almost finished, and I can’t wait for this to be the first roil that is 100% finished.
Stay at tuned for next week when I reveal the final installation!

I loved my shopping experience too! Really cool displays and set up they have at Lowe’s!

Your boys are adorable, the carts are my boy’s favorite part about shopping at Lowe’s too! Every minute of happy kids when shopping is vital! I’ve always wanted to try making roman shades from mini blinds too, but with the Levelor blinds being as simple as they are it’s hard to justify a DIY!

Those racecar carts are lifesavers! When we went to Lowe’s the other day, they were all taken and my toddler flipped her lid! So that was interesting. Haha Can’t wait to see the new space with the new addition!
Brooke says
Thanks! I know, as a mom to 3 boys the car carts are life savers.

Meredith @ The Palette Muse says
It’s usually hard to get home projects done without a little patience, but this one might be the exception to that rule. Amazing that you can get blinds in less time than it takes two little boys to get bored in a shopping cart!

Looking forward to seeing your new blind installed. You must be feeling good about the cordless features around those two little cuties!

Aren’t those carts lifesavers!!! I have two boys too. Can’t shop without those carts. 😉 I love the blinds that you chose. They are fantastic!
Jeanette @ Snazzy Little Things says
It’s so great that they cut these right on the spot. I don’t have patience to special order custom blinds and then wait…only to find out that they don’t fit (it might have happened). Happy to hear this is an option for impatient shoppers like me 🙂
