I don’t especially want vertical blinds if I don’t have to. Are there any other good ideas for sliding glass doors?

Good question. Our new house has a sliding glass door and vertical blinds. My mom even gave me a new set of vertical blinds. But my SIL told me it looks like a motel room LOL. The only feasible alternatives I’ve come up with is a) reflective film (so no one can see in, eliminating the need for any window covering) or b) treating the sliding doors as a really big window. I like b better. You can just buy drapes, valances, etc whatever you would buy for a window. You might have to custom order or make it yourself due to the size though.

How do I decorate my home keeping the flow consistent?
Question by Shannon: How do I decorate my home keeping the flow consistent?
I don’t want each room in my home to look the same but at the same time, I’d like to avoid feeling like I live in a circus tent (ie: each room a different color/theme). Any ideas on giving each room it’s own feel while maintaining some unity? Thanks!

Choose the color you want as dominant then use lighter and darker shades of that color in different rooms. You can also use two shades in the same room if you have a chair rail or wainscoting. For a focal point wall you can paint 3 walls one shade and the 4th a lighter or darker shade of the same or constasting color. You can also use this effect with one wall papered. (I don’t think wall paper is as popular this decade as in the past, but it would be ok in small doses. Using different window treatments in different bedrooms would give rooms a little individuality. I would keep the same window treatments in the living room and dining.

Question by julie: need some suggestions for window treatments in nursery?
What do I do about privacy? I kind of wanted to try to get some panels and a shade, just so it looks finished, but will that be to much? Also what color panels would you recommend? I was thinking pink?

Let me contribute the cheap answer, (you need to save those pennies!) If you buy a basic white, plastic roller shade, they are very easy to paint, stencil or stamp. The design on your bedding is quite simple, and you could find a similarly shaped flower stamp at any craft store. You could either cover the shade with alternating pink flowers, or do a row at the bottom. It wouldn’t overwhelm the room with pink, would be very cute with the valance, and if it got broken, it would be no big deal to replace. (I’m talking about the shades that attach inside the window frame, and have no cords.)
Hope all goes well with your little one’s arrival.
