New Kitchen Window Coverings!

The windows before:





The windows after:





These are west-facing windows, and in the late afternoon, the sun is brutal. Plus we have no privacy.

1. Useful and good looking. Well done.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. And that was exactly what we wanted! Thank you, my dear Biophilic.

3. Nice. But I'm really impressed by your clutter-free counter top.

4. Thank you, my dear sinkingfeeling! Please don't be impressed by my counter top!

I'd cleaned it off, plus had removed all my art objects out of the window sill, so that the installer would have a clear field to work in!

I don't like clutter so I make an effort.

5. Wonderful Peggy

I bet they'll make huge difference in the Summer

7. Thank you so much, my dear Proud Patriot!

I'm counting on them doing just that! The sun is ferocious when it hits those windows.

6. CaliforniaPeggy, I have these shades over every window in my house.

I love them. Many of mine were the ones that open from either/or the top and bottom. I suspect you may not be as likely to fry food as I do, and my stove is in front of the window, but, I didn't put them in my kitchen bc I was afraid of the grease mixed with dust and an occasional dog hair. 😳 But they are just perfect and so easy to replace if they break.

9. Thanks for your perspective, my dear 1WorldHope!

We have them elsewhere too. I love the soft, diffuse light. And the privacy!

My cooktop is on an inside wall, nowhere near that window, as you can see. I do have these blinds at the other end of the kitchen for privacy and sun control. They are very good for those purposes.

[KarenS]

12. Very stylish,,,, both simple and elegant.

I love the look of it

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thanks so much, my dear KarenS!

They really are all that! Plus they match the coverings in the rest of the kitchen.

13. I love the look of them in your kitchen, clean and simple.

I used to have a west facing window over my kitchen sink and I know how brutal (and hot) it can be working there in the late afternoon. These look perfect!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I think they will help a lot, esp. with the sun. I used to hate being in that space when the sun was setting. I kept having to duck and keep away from the glare!

16. Those are really, really nice. Very classy. Well done.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Thanks very much, my dear LoisB!

I must admit that I agree completely!
