Your shades are beautiful! 5 years and they’re still holding up strong 🙌🏼 that’s awesome, and you chose a really nice timeless color. I bet you’ll get another 5 years out of them too🤞🏼
Andrea, I did laugh at the “want the shades even”….THAT IS SO ME !!! I can’t help it ! LOL!!!! I’m touching my curtains all day, in all rooms! Drives my husband crazy….😬 Always have been that way! I need to check these out. I have always admired them and love the ones in your sunroom! 5 years is a good review ! Thank you for this update…not boring at all ! 🌞🌞🌞🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞
I cannot believe that I never noticed the sunroom shades were different than the others. Each of them are so beautiful! I appreciate your honest and unsponsored video! It’s great they’ve held up so well!
Thank you for making this video. I have just moved into a new house & have been trying to figure out how to cover a couple of windows with something attractive as well as functional. Your video has pointed me in a direction I hadn't considered. So, thank you for helping at least one person.
Hi Andrea! Select blinds is.a great company! I found them through you and I have purchased Roman Shades for one room and horizontal blinds for two other large windows in two other rooms. They are all beautiful and have lasted over four years. We had made a mistake with one of the measurements (I'm just going to say not my mistake 😊....) but thankfully they had a guarantee that they replace for just the price of shipping which was only $10. They didn't want the "wrong" ones back and I received them within a week. I've recommended them to others and they are very satisfied too. So thanks again for recommending this a few years ago because I have been very satisfied with the product and the service.
Hi Andrea!I have the pleated style shades and I like them very much!!I have had them quite a long time and I'm very please with them!!If someone wants to dress them up,they can always put light,neutral sheers on either side of the windows!Your home is so pretty and cozy!!Enjoy!😁🌷🦋🌻
Love your shades and thank you for sharing the info looking to buy some shades for my home. Look the total look of your home. So, inspiring love your beautiful, but simple style. Have a blessed and fabulous day ❤😊
I love all your videos. Today video is great. I love tonget honest reviews, even right now I don’t need shades, but I’m sure a lot of people does. I always appreciate when videos are full of helpful informations. 👍😊
8:30 I'm one of those perfectionist people so thank you for mentioning this!! I can do either 3 panels next to each other or one large panel. This helped me decide that one large panel is the way to go.
Love your shades they look beautiful in your home. I have regular roll up shades and I am always fixing them so they are even. 😂 I always go around after my husband puts up the shades too straighten them.
I’m thoroughly convinced on these shades. I’m building a very small home only 770 ft.² very tiny but I don’t believe tiny means I have to do without character. I believe the shades would add such a texture and character to the room.
Wow I am late watching but they have held up so nice I love them they add so much to your home . I found you through Lisa Bass and I love watching your Chanel so peaceful and I love your decor .
They're beautiful shades. It's not ez finding shades that are durable and nice looking. Plus now you've given us a great review. I'm going to check them out...I've been looking online for awhile for myself. .. Funny how a 5 yr old video still brings you the most responses. Lol. See how important shades are...lol. Thanks much.
I love what Select Blinds have for you/us....IF, I weren't in a rental with new purchased, hung, wide, white, plank blinds I'd look into ordering ones like these...thank you Andrea
Heeee! Trying to get them at the same level, but you are a pro at it. I would want them to be even too. Love the color! We are in a new home and have just started to get window treatments. This was so helpful. 🙂
One of your best video’s!!! The Company name, the exact style and the color!!!! You hit every highlight! Thank you! I was also trying to study how and where your husband hung the brackets. My husband has had 4 strokes over 10 years so I’m the wife and the husband in our home. lol. I need all the technical “handyman” info I can get.
Andrea, thank you ever so much for the transparent review! I love all of your you tube content about house and home, so this is much appreciated! Do they have any deterioration from the back side from the sun hitting them? Yes, they appear timeless and classic as well as ver clean lined. Bravo on such a wonderful choice! It always scares me to invest in something I think I may love and even doing my ‘homework’ about the littlest of details, it’s always nice to have the stamp of approval from someone that you’ve grown to trust and admire…so, thank you so kindly. Now, on to watch about the Roman shades as those have piqued my interest, too! Hugs from Illinois. ☺️
I am in the process of getting quotes for natural woven Roman-styles shades for our new home build. How do you think they look from outside the home? I'm debating getting the ones on the street-facing side lined in a an off-white thinking it will look better.? You can also get woven blinds in top down and motorized options! So many choices. This was very helpful, and this helped me think about how the color is the natural blinds should coordinate with other wood tones in the room. You can also bought bamboo roller shades over 15 years ago for the kitchen and dining room of our Cape Cod home we just sold, and I loved them. They are timeless, go with many decor styles, you can use them alone or with curtains, Ave they are easy to clean...I just dusted them. They were extremely inexpensive and easy to install. Even though my home was 50 years old, I was able to buy standard sizes.. Mine had a 5-6 inch valance that hid the mechanism.. They had the cord, but we kept them permanently rolled up to the save height (with the cord wrapped around a little wing bolt?) because privacy was not an issue. I am not getting quotes for natural woven shades that are more light filtering (the bamboo are great if you want more light blocking/privacy.)
Great video, wife and I have been debating on what to go with. Love these. In our master do you think getting away with these and curtains would be ideal ? Curtains to block out light and these to offer privacy but still allow light? Not sure about the blackout models of these
Thanks so much for sharing an update. I’ve been considering the Roman shades since your sunroom vlog. I ordered samples and I’m in the process of trying to decide on a color. Do you mind sharing the color of your roller shades and Roman shades? They are lovely and add warmth to your rooms while still remaining neutral. Love your home. You have wonderful taste😊
I am wanting something like this for my living room makeover. They look so pretty and simple, but yet, it gives the room texture which I love.🤎 The Roman Shade is what I am looking for, but I love both.✨🤎
I’ve been struggling with what to do with my windows for well over a year now. Do I want shades or shutters? Shutters are so expensive and the cost is what’s been holding me back. I really like what you’ve done. I would have never thought to switch styles (Roman vs roller shades, same color) in an adjoining room! I love the color & texture you chose as well. Your home is so pretty. You’ve inspired me to make my windows my summer goal. You truly are a helpful and gentle soul. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Keep in mind that plantation shutters block a lot of natural light, even when open, because of the casings and thickness, I read as much as 30%, and that, of course affects your view. It's also a lot of manual manipulation. They are also difficult to keep clean, and tend to look dated. Even if you don't think they look dated, I don't think they look great with many decor or home styles, e.g., a modern oranch. I think they look perhaps good on the homes they were invented for, southern plantation. Good luck!!!
This is such fantastic info! I am wondering about the privacy you get with the woven fabric... If it is nighttime and the lights are on inside, how much can people see from the street into the house? Just vague silhouettes? I am considering putting in woven roller shades in a guest bedroom and I would want people to feel comfortable with the level of privacy. Thank you for any information you can offer!
Hmmm. I've always liked roller shades, but have been drawn to the light blocking ones in the past. Where I live now tho, the house would be so dark I don't think I'd like it, except maybe the bedroom. Those are nice, I like them!
Thank you for the 5 year review. Are yours the premium cordless or the cordless lift? It seems like the premium cordless but I can’t choose the option to not have the cover, which is making it even more expensive.
If I want an inside Mount like yours how much mounting depth do I need to have? It looks like yours are mounted on about an inch of wood like mine would be and that's why they protrude ? Thank you
Nice! I love your shades... I'd like to get something like that for my kitchen windows but that I can pull them from the bottom. In other words, to leave half of the upper part of window in view. Hope I can be understood. Lol
I really like the warmth the shades bring to your room. I’m looking into similar ones for my dining room because there’s a lot of white within the room and the room is south facing so I like the light filtering option. Also…., where did you find the linen tie front pillow? Txs
You dismissed and apologised about this vlog not being great content. Stop. Think about this. I think that was GREAT content!!! As you would know, when you need to make a decision on something like a new kitchen table or new blinds, we can get a bit obsessed and NEED some decent information and help when we are trying to decide if what works for others would translate for our space. What you offered was a deeper dive on JUST your roller blinds and that is sooo valuable to those thinking about or needing to decide on new blinds, now or the constant future viewers of people moving house! I would actually LOVE some more videos where you offer a deeper dive on ONE narrow subject, of what you've learned through your experiences, pros and cons, and if you would happily buy them again. There is so much content out there in the "homemaking youtube" about how to refresh, do over, diy, make new, give it an update... where as for MOST homemakers, really that is a new pillow once in a while or a vase of flowers. Most homemakers aren't looking for constant projects, but just to survive crazy lives and create a sense of keeping up! Yet when they NEED new blinds or a new price of furniture, well, they need to make a decision and decide eventually. Your video will help people decide. Products that last well and you are happy with 5 years later, and you sharing that information (ESPECIALLY as they are still available, not to mention how obsessed your viewers are with them) give your viewers really foundational homemaking information rather than just content that might be enjoyable to watch but they might not really find invaluable. Don't dismiss your gained knowledge from your lived experiences. As a busy mum of home, living in a smallish home with 4 small children that IS totally relatable content for many. Where yiur home HAS to be functional AND you've made it beautiful and something still is working well 5 years .... well that is golden information for many of us who dream of a lovely home like yours but are just trying to keep up with life. Xoxo
I know this might sound like a stupid question but here goes: Do your shades have privacy liners on the back and if not can people from the street see through them at night? Also, If they are not lined on the back do the shades look consistent from the street ? In other words does each different type of shade on the windows have a different look from the street. I have heard that windows look better from the street if they all have the same window treatment and look the same color. This is sometimes hard to achieve since every room doesn't always call for the same type of window treatment. I have bamboo blinds at my windows that face the street and I put privacy liners on them years ago when they weren't so hard to put on. All my blinds need replacing now and they are so expensive and the privacy liners that I can find are not as well made as the older ones and I just cannot get them on properly. They sag and look horrible from the street. I can't afford custom blinds and cannot afford to replace ALL my blinds right now with just unlined bamboo blinds. Unlined blinds do not provide enough privacy at night. Sorry this is such a LONG comment but I'm having a frustrating time trying to update my blinds for a consistent, clean look and that will provide privacy from the street. I LOVE the look of bamboo blinds so I don't want to use anything else. Thanks for any help you can give. Always, enjoy your channel.
Hi! For the light-filtering shades, do you know if people can see inside your room at night when your lights are on? Thank you so much for sharing all of your beautiful decorating knowledge!
I like the white color of Your room. It makes it look very neat and clean. I just want to leave a small tip for people who look for new windows or doors. Try looking at Dako company.
I have some shades that have fallen apart. Mostly youtube is full of 1) blind companies pitching whatever they have playing annoying music, 2) people who have cleverly covered their windows for $3.12. It's maddening getting basic information so thanks.
Thank you for offering a genuine long term, independent review that is not paid.
Yes, these are so rare.
Your shades are beautiful! 5 years and they’re still holding up strong 🙌🏼 that’s awesome, and you chose a really nice timeless color. I bet you’ll get another 5 years out of them too🤞🏼
I hope so, thank you!! 😊
Andrea, I did laugh at the “want the shades even”….THAT IS SO ME !!! I can’t help it ! LOL!!!! I’m touching my curtains all day, in all rooms! Drives my husband crazy….😬 Always have been that way!
I need to check these out. I have always admired them and love the ones in your sunroom! 5 years is a good review !

Thank you for sharing this resource. Your cost-per-use certainly has paid off with these shades! Blessings!
Thank you so much 😊😊
I loved this video. It wasn't boring at all because I've been looking for blinds exactly like that and have wanted to ask you anyway 😆
Thank you for sharing I just ordered my samples for my kitchen window 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, we love them so much too, I am so happy to hear you love yours! Thank you Trisha 😊
I’m thoroughly convinced on these shades. I’m building a very small home only 770 ft.² very tiny but I don’t believe tiny means I have to do without character. I believe the shades would add such a texture and character to the room.

Do you have a link for the tour of the Sunroom showing the Roman Shades? I don't see it.
Can you hang roller or Roman shades on the "outside" of the window (on the frame around the window) if your windows aren't inset?
I’ve been struggling with what to do with my windows for well over a year now. Do I want shades or shutters? Shutters are so expensive and the cost is what’s been holding me

Top down, bottom up shades! That's what I'm gonna do, it'll work nicely to block out the nosy neighbor lady!
Just wondering how you clean the shades? I love the look of them!! ❤️
When they need to be cleaned I vacuum them 😊😊
I really like the warmth the shades bring to your room. I’m looking into similar ones for my dining room because there’s a lot of white within the room and the room is south facing so I like the light filtering option. Also…., where did you find the linen tie front pillow? Txs

Yes, they are not very private. However, these are downstairs and we spend most evenings upstairs. They do have a privacy option though! 😊

I looked at the links but don't see one for the Roman shades.
Would you mind terribly sharing that?
Thank you!
Are they in blackout?
I am a person that wants my shades level. It really bothers me when they are off by even a little
✅
lol.....I am one of those people that would be driven crazy with uneven blinds.
Hi …please share the roman shade info. I love your choices!
Thank you so much Janice, I include all of that information in this post, I hope this helps! www.pineandprospecthome.com/sunroom-window-bench-reveal/

Blinds are an investment.
But i do believe that investing in good ones does pay off in the long haul.
I'M OCD!!!! LoL
I have some shades that have fallen apart. Mostly youtube is full of 1) blind companies pitching whatever they have playing annoying music, 2) people who have cleverly covered their windows for $3.12. It's maddening getting basic information so thanks.
I care…. My blinds need to be all the same level
