For the verticals, the slider out onto the lanai is quite wide, so we actually bought 2 vertical blinds and butted them together to cover the opening, so you can open each one up separately. We made cornice boards which cover them up, so you can't tell that they're 2 separate blinds.
CLEVER Lil Dancer! :bigthumbsup:

Why didn't I think of that. For now we have draperies that cover that big old slider. Great idea!
