Not only was she professional and friendly, she knows her products! Rae helped me choose wonderful wooden blinds for two of my rental properties. The tenants absolutely love the blinds and were impressed with the installer, too. I would recommend Rae to anyone looking for lovely window coverings!!! **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you very much, Lesley. We hope your tenants enjoy the blinds for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Diana Monaghan, Nov. 2018** > Absolutely love The Shady Lady and her team! Extremely professional and also perfectionists! Great communication! Offered wonderful suggestions for my home too! Would highly recommend!!! **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you, Diana. Work is easy when you have a great client! **★★★★★ — HU-71554, Nov. 2018** > Rae has outfitted our home with the most beautiful shades. She provided useful guidance and helped us decide what would work best with the structure and design of our home. The install was fast and easy. Her team is very friendly and professional and we have recommended her to friends (who have used her and were equally impressed). She is the only person I would go to for window coverings as she knows her business well, has a great eye and is extremely easy to work with. Highly recommend!! **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you! Hearing from happy clients does my heart good. **★★★★★ — Carolyn Vandermeer, Aug. 2018** > Rae installed custom Hunter Douglas Luminettes and Silhouettes throughout our new home 11 years ago. This is late to post this review, and yet it is appropriate. At this point I can honestly say that my beautiful window coverings have given our home a sense of peace, joy and beauty for 11 years. In fact my beautiful window coverings may just be my favorite part of our home! The measurements/installation was perfect. In our master bedroom we have 5 windows in a bay window formation. I am astounded every time I look at these Luminettes - when closed it looks as if it is one continuous window covering! After 8 years I had them cleaned - Rae recommended a great company. They were so careful and thorough with my beautiful window coverings. The Luminettes and Silhouettes have a soft look that I love. They are not room darkening. This was not a problem for my husband or I - Rae had carefully explained this before we chose them. However if you love this look but prefer to be able to make some or all rooms dark at night, Rae can custom design blackout shades and install before she installs the window coverings. The Luminettes and Silhouettes were one of the best purchases of my life! **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you very much for taking time to write this review, Carolyn. I know that you had planned for quite a while to have Luminette and Silhouette shadings in your home before actually placing your order. It warms my heart to hear the difference we were able to help make in your home! **★★★★ — C Brown, May 2017** > We interviewed five local window covering companies and decided to go with The Shady Lady. We are happy with our decision. She carries an excellent selection of products and is wonderful to work with. Our high-quality shades look fabulous! **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you very much for your kind words. We appreciate you! **★★★★ — Katherine Armaos, May 2017** > Rae has been a pleasure to work with. She was familiar with the home we purchased and very helpful with window solutions with our move. > Not to mention follow up for warranty items. > > I highly recommend The Shady Lady. **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you, Katherine. We look forward to helping you in the future. **★★★★★ — Laura Tyson, May 2017** > Rae was great to work with. I had a very large new home project and needed many window coverings of different styles and I had some very large windows. Rae installed temporary blinds but got the order in quickly - in around 3 weeks from the time I ordered custom blinds to the time of installation. We had some trouble shooting to do because one of the large heavy blinds wasn't working properly. She was very responsive and we got it resolved quickly. She also went the extra mile trying to get my remote app to work properly. She spent hours on the phone with IT and my internet provider trying to get everything to work together properly which was complicated by my wifi setup which had an eero booster installed but in the end we got everything working properly. I highly recommend working with Rae. **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough review, Laura. Your project was a bit of a challenge on the tech side, but overall a lot of fun because we got to select every room's shades tailored to their specific needs. **★★★★★ — Mary Ewing, May 2017** > I have worked with Rae at The Shady Lady on 3 separate occasions, and have always had a very good experience. They are honest, and very reasonable. The biggest job that Rae and team handled was the installation of a large patio shade to block the late afternoon sun. She and team advised me on the best shade for my situation, then installed it perfectly, on time, and most amazingly, called a week later to ensure that it was all working to my satisfaction. She genuinely cared about the work...not only the appearance, but also the functionality. I only wish that more professional people could be as honest and as caring. I HIGHLY recommend The Shady Lady! **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you very much, Mary! And it was very nice to see you again the other day. **★★★★★ — dbwhitehurst, May 2017** > I have worked with Rae several times on window treatments for my home. She is professional and talented. The products she suggests are perfect for the space, functional, high quality and beautiful. The installation is also very professional with minimal disruption. I am a very particular customer and I highly recommend the Shady Lady for quality and service. **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you very much for your review. It is fun to work with someone who wants to make certain that each treatment is perfect for every indiividual space. **★★★★★ — Gloria Nino, May 2017** > I've used and have recommended to others with exceptional results. Will continue to recommend and use when needed for any window coverings. **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you, Gloria. It is always a pleasure to work with you and your clients. **★★★★★ — Lyndsey Knight, May 2017** > Have worked with The Shady Lady several times and have always had a great experience. Rae is very professional while still being very friendly and easy to work with. She has done the window coverings for our entire home and come out to do a repair when one of our blinds broke. I would highly recommend her (and do to friends) and plan to use her when we update our windows in the next year or so. **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you for your nice review, Lyndsey. And for the referrals, too! **★★★★★ — Linda Love, May 2017** > Rae did a great job helping me decide on my window coverings. She was very knowledgeable about the product offerings. Her husband did the installation, and he likewise did a great job. **Comment from The Shady Lady Window Coverings:** > Thank you, Linda. Your job was especially exciting since it was the first time we installed those beautiful Silhouette A Deaux shades! ## Selected projects - [Hunter Douglas Window Fashions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunter-douglas-window-fashions-pj-vj~5425304) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Houston Contemporary Chic Townhome](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/houston-contemporary-chic-townhome-pj-vj~418329) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 11 - Description: Young oil and gas professional moved to Houston with virtually no furniture following global assignments.

I want to fit this type of blind in my concervetory, however the window is 143 in** *(in Photo Questions)* how are these blinds fitted. I want to fit this type of blind in my concervetory, however the window is 143 ins long with pvc panels every 2 feet. and 58 ins long. do you think it is possible. what is the best material to use. A: If the PVC panels split the window every two feet, you could certainly have this look. You would simply have more than one shade in the window, and the shades will be divided based upon the vertical splits in the window. Have a window fashion designer come to your home for a consultation. They will bring samples, and explain how the look you want may be achieved. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
