salonva- question about your window blinds

last month

I saw your arch blinds in the “Show me yours” thread. Can you tell me where you got the blinds for the arch portion of your window? I have a double window palladian arch (72”) and all I have been able to find is either plantation type shutters, fabric pleated shades or sunburst type coverings similar to the attached pic. I would like to find 2 1/2 blinds that open and close. Can you share where you bought your arch blinds?

Good morning--- It must have been a tricky image because the palladian arch is bare.

Now that I look at the pic again, what you are seeing is actually the siding on the exterior of the house, not blinds. The arch is bare. It's barely dawn now but I snapped a picture from a different angle and you can see the siding and then the tree.

😂 it sure looked like blinds! Thanks for responding- I guess I’ll have to go with the sunburst type covering. I hate to cover up the arch, but I don’t sleep as well as I used to and even moonlight seems to be affecting my ability to fall asleep.

Here is how we handled the sunburst

But plantation shutters are not blackout. This is in my dining area.

I would first cover the sunburst then do a window treatment.
