The founders/owners, Doug and Maria, are honest, personable, easy to work with, reliable, know their business, and have a rare industry quality which is to LISTEN to the customer first before offering and discussing options best suited for that customer and their home. Their materials are high quality and their installation work is second to none. They are responsive to customers desires and needs and they know their business inside out. They installed my blinds in 2011 with additional blinds & artistic window coverings installed in 2013, and I just love their work. Over the years I have recommended Blinds By Design to several close friends seeking to add blinds to their homes, and all my friends are totally satisfied and appreciative with the work dine in their homes. Trustworthy and passionate about their design and installation work, I would use them over and over again, and recommend them over and over again. Simply put, they are the best of the best when it comes to designing and installing blinds! **★★★★★ — HU-272638005, Dec. 2023** > Great job! Professional, quick and efficient!

A: Our shutters are fabricated here in Florida in four weeks. **Q: Where to buy motorized shades and curtain products?** *(in Home Decorating)* I’m doing a master addition to my midcentury modern home. One wall of mostly glass faces Southwest and gets a lot of light. I went to the shade store yesterday to look at solar shades for the large 16’x8’ entry hallway, which I was hoping to use a gallery wall, and curtains for a couple bedrooms. For two motorized solar shades (8’x8’ each), and 3 sets of 8x8’ nonmotorized curtains the price was 10k! Any ideas on other companies to get quotes from? I thought 10k was pretty expensive... A: Are you still looking for motorized shades ? **Q: selling price for piece?** *(in Photo Questions)* We have this exact armoire and are looking to sell it. The hardware to close it needs fixing. would you know what would be a good price to list it at? A: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately I did not sell this piece but rather traded a whole bedroom set to a home builder to use in their model home. **Q: Is this bed available for sale?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This bedroom set has already been sold. **Q: Pair to sell** *(in Photo Questions)* I have 2 of this exact item which I want to sell. Any idea of the retail price? A: I'm sorry but I just now saw this alert. I'm not on Houzz regularly. **Q: Take berry** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this for sale A: This entire bedroom set has been sold, however, the dining room set is currently still available.
