One of the things we've been planning to do for Auntie Violet is to replace the shades in the living room. We've been looking at various options, but hadn't seen anything I really liked. You know those little kiosks you sometimes see at Costco? When we were in Mesa a couple of weeks ago, I happened to notice some samples of some really nice Roman style shades that I really liked at one. I said something to the girl about it being too bad they didn't do shades in motor homes. BUT, she said they did! So I gave her our card.
A few days ago we got a call from Dan, who made an appointment with us to bring some samples to the coach and do some measurements. We looked at a lot of samples. I really liked some that had strands of grass-like materials, but the more we looked at them, we decided they wouldn't stand up very well. Then I found this sample that was made of sturdier strips.
This picture gives a much yellower tint to the sample. It's actually more shades of tan and brown. The edges will be trimmed with the chocolate strip on the left and they'll be backed with the privacy fabric on the right.
This is Dan from B&B, the Costco vendor, who did the measurements and made the order out. You can see the shades in front of him that we will be replacing. The one on the right will not go up anymore and the one on the left is catywompus.
It will be four to six weeks before the shades arrive as they will be custom made. Arizona has a three day "cooling off" period on purchases, so it will be the fifth before the order is even placed...
