I just caught up on your thread and your house is looking fabulous. I am just about to order the rest of my blinds, but like you I have some awning windows and it is driving me crazy what to use there. Do your awning windows have the wind-out mechanise that sticks out, and if so, does it create a problem with your venetian blinds? I soooo get you on waking up early each morning becuase of the sun - I'm exhausted Building the Grandview 36 with M$tric0n Plans approved 15/4/2010 Site start date 21/5/2010 Our build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32825&p=461266#p461266 Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 951Nov 21, 2010 9:50 am Deemaree Kyndylan Capers: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=46852 My blog: http://www.sufficientlysufficient.blogspot.com/ Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 952Nov 21, 2010 10:24 am Firstly. Please excuse the dead baby bugs on my window sill I need to dust but I really can't be arsed doing it at the moment Our window sills are 10cm deep and the handle for the wind out mechanism has a little hinge on it so it can fold out of the way (both when the windows are opened and closed). This is with the handle hanging out - it has to be like this to open and close the windows Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is with the handle turned up, out of the way Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is how it sits behind the blinds with the handle out of the way Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Long story short.... No I haven't had any trouble with it at all. But when they came out to measure our windows they did comment on how lovely and deep our window sills were. Not sure if they are overly deep though - they look pretty normal to me Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 953Nov 21, 2010 12:31 pm hi dilla ~ your place is looking fantastic. Can't get over how lovely everything is + how well you've put it together. Love love your curtains. My ideas for window coverings are a little hazy, but been leaning towards sheers over roman blinds. Your sheers over the venetians are just gorgeous. Also loving the panel glide blockout fabric matching the blockout layer on the blinds ~ very clever. Those double blinds are a great idea and so practical.. But I just have to know... how the heck did you take this photo?? _______________________________________________________________ We're a knockdown | rebuild ~ Melb SE burbs Building modified version of the Fairhaven Glenaire Homeone thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28429 _______________________________________________________________ Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 954Nov 21, 2010 12:55 pm Nothing too tricky I'm afraid. Just stuck my hand between two of the slats and angled down I really love the sheers over the venetians - my only problem is that I think the sheers clash horribly with the feature wall in our bedroom. It makes the wall look yellow YUCK For the rest of the house we wanted something really unobtrusive. The double rollers are great because if they're up you wouldn't even know they were there, when the sunscreen ones are down you can still see out through them but the colour blends in well with the walls, and when the blockout ones are down they look nearly exactly the same as the wall colour. They're pretty much exactly what we were hoping they would be Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 955Nov 21, 2010 1:18 pm dilla Nothing too tricky I'm afraid. Just stuck my hand between two of the slats and angled down Just went back and had another good look at the sheers next to the feature wall. I had to have a g o o d look IYKWIM, but I do see what you're saying ~ that lovely milky brown mocha colour is making the feature wall look a bit "olive". Is it easy to repaint the feature? Picking colours is hard. They still look beautiful though. dilla Thanks Loretta. They sure do make a difference. I think that's it for the inside of the house too. Apart from a new clock I really can't think of anything else we could need or want in here _______________________________________________________________ We're a knockdown | rebuild ~ Melb SE burbs Building modified version of the Fairhaven Glenaire Homeone thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28429 _______________________________________________________________ Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 956Nov 21, 2010 5:06 pm vanilla tree dilla Nothing too tricky I'm afraid.

Apart from a new clock I really can't think of anything else we could need or want in here I wondered what you were thinking To me, it's not a big deal to paint that wall. DP is against it but I'm the boss around here, not him, so we'll see what happens Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 958Nov 21, 2010 9:49 pm Annie- Dilla I am in love with your white venetians and curtains they look great. I am also building in central vic, can I ask who you went through to get them?? Cheers Annie We got them through Dollar Curtains. Apart from the little hiccup at the end and the extra wait we weren't expecting, they were fantastic. The quality is fantastic - they knew who I was everytime I walked through the door, very friendly staff. I'm really happy with them actually. Have you got a thread? Not too many Central Vic-ers around here Re: dilla's place - we've got curtains! 959Nov 22, 2010 6:15 am We are heading up to Bendigo tomorrow...

YAY, you have a home with curtians now which by the way looks really really great. I like the fact you can turn the handle in, i dont think mine to that.. what are you going to do about the feature wall?
