Blinds

We bought blinds!  It was kind of an impulse thing one night right before bed.  Hubs saw a sale going on at JCPenney's, so we checked them out online and in addition to the sale, there was an extra 25% off the entire order.  Score!  So, we ordered two different types.  Bamboo for the morning room and cellular for the rest of the house, and all of them are cordless.  A few days after we ordered them, I was having some doubts that we ordered the correct size, so we swung by the house yesterday to take some measurements.  We had ordered 36x64, but the windows are about 35" at the top and some of them are close to 34.5" at the bottom.  Darn!  There's still another day to get the sale price, so I'm going to re-order them tonight.  The blinds came today, so I got one out of the box to make sure that I like the color and to measure it.  Love the color and the blinds are 35.5", so we're going to order the 35x64, which should be 34.5 wide and fit perfectly!

The sale price is awesome and free shipping!  For anyone that's been looking, here's what he paid:

Double Cellular Shades - Originally $110/piece, we paid $41.25/piece
Bamboo Roman Shades - Originally $82/piece, we paid $30.75/piece

Here are pics of what we ordered:

Natural Woven Bamboo Cordless Roman Shade

 Now we need to make a decision on which refrigerator to buy...

*UPDATE:  It all seemed so easy, right?  Well, apparently, I didn't measure the blinds exactly and they're closer to 35.75", so they won't fit in the bottom of the window, but we're not positive, so we're going to order  both the 34" and 35" ones.  The other issue is the length. Even though they say 64" long, when pulled all the way down, they pull back up to about 58", so we might order the 72" length, just to be safe.  I can see why people have blinds custom measured!
