More Shades Up

In October, my dear husband put up more of the honeycomb shades in the kitchen, the office, and our bedroom. In all three rooms, they replaced blinds, which don't insulate well at all, and were heavy and hard to open and close properly. These cellular shades have a push button and operate like a dream and we have really enjoyed them since then. I was concerned I would miss the ability to tilt slats to adjust the light incrementally, but I don't think I have. In the kitchen, I raise them for the plants and it's nice to see outside more easily. In the office, I open them for me and then I close each (there are two) alternately as the afternoon sun hits. Even when they are closed, there is lots of nice light since they are filtering rather than darkening. In our bedroom, there are sheer draperies over them, and it's great to have two insulating layers while relaxing in soft, uplifting light.

OK, I'm posting the same thing again, with correct spelling this time. What I said was: We are seriously considering honeycomb shades.
