Window Blinds Info and Tips

mannyrammer asked:


We just purchased some top down bottom up cellular shades from a website and we put them up and there are a TON of cords..with a baby, it is kind of scary!! We also have a large window about 35 x 105 and the store said we had to purchase three seperate shades to cover the window which is leaving us with 6 seperate cords!! Does anyone know of any place that sells this feature and cordless for such a large window?
Sorry the window is 105 x 70

remember me? asked:


I know I should just get rid of them, they are out of style, but I have so many windows and have only been here for a year, I am taking my time with decorating and window treatments. So does anyone have any tricks for cleaning these things? They are so old they are metal mini blinds.

I just bought a new house; but, there are no window coverings (or fittings) existing. I would like to hang curtains and perhaps blinds in the windows; but, I don’t know how to measure appropriately so that the rod is well-placed and the curtains are long enough. Any advice?
