Our blinds for the kitchen window arrived from Home Depot this weekend. We decided to go there for blinds as we could choose blinds that closely matched our kitchen cabinets. We found some that were pretty close. The only thing is, I originally ordered black twill tapes, and they came with burgundy ones. We decided to hang them up anyways. Right now we just want to get projects completed, and didn't want to deal with sending the old ones back and getting new ones. The burgundy tapes don't clash too bad with our kitchen, and in a way it's probably better to break up the black theme we have going.
Zac finished filling in the frame, and painted it black, which also matches our counter tops and baseboards. It makes a huge difference having blinds up in a window that always used to have light shining through.
