Custom Roman Shades for Half the Price

When I was home last week my mom asked me to help her redecorate a few rooms of her house. Of course was glad to help! To save a few pennies, we decided to go with store bought grass roman shades instead of custom. However, we ran into a problem in the living room. Mom's windows are 25 inches x 61 inches. I searched high and low for the right size at the right price. Custom was going to cost $200 per shade so it was totally out of the question.

Then I stumbled on JCPenney's made-to measure blinds. For two semi-custom blinds, it's going to cost $83!


Moral of the story? Do your research. Roman shades are doable on any budget.
