For 18 years I had mini blinds in the kitchen and really didn't mind them - they were just there and I didn't actually notice them that much. But when the new counters were installed they seemed to stand out like a sore thumb and I wanted matchsticks. I found that All About Blinds, a local company I've used before, was much more reasonable than any of the catalogs and they also come out to be sure the measurements are accurate, hang the new blinds, and take the old ones away. I had to have them lined, though, because we have a "white window" restriction in this neighborhood.
The blinds don't look that great with the stencil, though, and since it's been around awhile, I think it's got to go.
