I have two windows about 35w x 60h, about 4' apart in my front/living room--they face the porch/sidewalk and though it's a nice neighborhood, it's very exposed. They currently have white wood blinds that I keep closed. I cannot find similar blinds in top-down-bottom-up--my ideal, because there are lovely big trees out there, and because I could control the light tilt. Woven shades or Roman shades cover or not, nothing in between. I am considering re-hanging the blinds lower (1/2-way down, where double-hung window break is, about 42" H). I guess I'd remove some of the extra bottom slats. I'm not TOO handy but would even hire someone to get this right. Though I don't know how long I'll own the home so don't want to invest too much. Thanks to all thoughts!
