New Displays are Arriving!

I just received some of the new Hunter Douglas blinds and shades that will replace the old ones that have been hanging in the shop for altogether too long! I couldn't wait to start replacing.
A shutter was on the front window, which I was never crazy about. I love shutters, but it just didn't work on that window. Maybe I will move it to the outside front wall since it's all vinyl. At any rate, I was thrilled to take it off of the window today and replace it with a new Nantucket shade.
Nantucket is very similar to the well known Silhouette sheer shade, except it's the better priced cousin! Nantucket only comes in the 3" vane (which is the most popular size anyway) and offers all the same lift systems as Silhouette, except TopDown/BottomUp- even motorization with the Platinum 2 technology! Additionally Nantucket now offers 3 fabrics in 51 different colors! The one we chose for the display has the new "screen" backing, called "Sunscreen Privacy Shading" which gives a little more light & privacy control than the standard Nantucket. It looks awesome in the window! And it may even work for a time with the existing banded drapery. It's a completely different feel than the shutter. Soft, but still with the horizontal vanes for privacy control.
