Got sick and tired of the day/night shades.
Can't clean them, also had a couple that were warn and ripped.
Went to Home Depot and got new vinyl blinds.
They look great and have been very very happy with them.
When we travel, we just put them up.
We were able to use the standard width's and just had to have the two small (narrow) rear side windows.
I think for all the blinds (11) it was around $200.
On the lengths, 48", for shorter just follow the directions and undo the string, take out blades, redo the string.
Last year we had taken down the Cornishes, and made new ones out of MBF and painted a light yellow.
The next project is to put up wallpaper on the walls, a wains-coating on the bottom and a light, tan/yellow stripped for the tops.
Put it up after we paint the ceiling.
