If you look inside the back cover of the current customer mag you will see a vertical blind made in 5 colours of Acacia. When I first saw this picture, my first thought was, Who the H*ll would buy a blind like that.
Well, today I found out ;D
I had shown the customer the magazine and had left her with the sample book while I took measurements of her conservatory when I heard her shout "This is it, its exactly what I've been looking for, I want it exactly the same". So , one happy customer

and I'm pretty sure it will be one pain in the backside of a fit !!!!
My guess will be that they make x of each shade and it's up to you to put them up in order !

I can now tell my customers that someone has actually CHOSEN that blind!!  What room was it in? Do you remember the picture of a woman wearing a dress made of Roman fabric on the front cover of the last book? Thank goodness no-one wanted that!! ;D __________________________________________ [glow=green,2,300]Reply by Phugly[/glow] If you read my post you would see that its in a conservatory  . I cant wait to see the finished effect, and be sure that I will be taking pics ;D |

Fitted a tri colour a while ago. Put the chains on while watching the footie as usual then next day customer decided she wanted a certain colour to start at one end. Gues what it was the one I had accidentally put first . Had 40 louvres was I pleased.
Good luck Joy

Have done a few multi coloured verts. You need to work out how many of each colour, and order rail and louvres seperately. The first was for a gents hairdresser, red and white (capri). At time of order she wanted them alternate. I sorted them out at home and fitted chains. When I went to fit, she thought 2 of each colour would be better. Smiled, gritted teeth and obliged. Now I wait until all are hung, get the customers approval, then fit the chains. Other colours used acacia black and white, (dunfermline footie club colours), and acacia caramel and beige. It looks very effective, and most custoomers are not aware it can be done. (As like venetians)
