My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Drapes, blinds, thoughts.. .

7 years ago

I've been in this house for 5 years and have had the cheap bamboo blinds for the winter time when the leaves fall. I've only got 1 neighbor that can see on my property but that's enough. Thoughts on privacy for the great room?

    I'm thinking something like Dual Shades would be nice. Sheer when you need a little privacy and blackout when you need complete privacy and roll them up when you don't want any.

    The problem with curtains is, looks like a wall of windows, so no place to stack them off the windows. But if you really wanted them, I think a Ripplefold system would be best because these have the least stackback.
