Hi AT,
We want to move our baby out of our room and into his own space -- thus putting an end to our months of sleeping in the living room. Unfortunately, his soon-to-be space has a skylight.
I was wondering if anyone has installed a skylight shade, and what company they recommend -- or do not recommend.
Ideally, I would have someone measure and install the thing. And, as an extra item on the wish list...a remote control up/down feature would be great. I just don't see getting out a pole and opening and closing them 5 times a day.
I've used Smith+Noble for regular shades before. They're ok, but kind of pricey. Has anyone used their installation service?
I know Hunter Douglas has both the install service and the remote up/down feature. It seems like they contract out to local window treatment stores, so I was also wondering if people had opinions about working with either National Blinds Cleaning & Window Coverings (on Brannan) or Blinds & Designs (on Polk).
Thanks in advance, Toria

I have worked with National Blinds and have been *very* happy with their service and materials. Skylights are tricky. A draft in your home might ruffle a Hunter Douglass shade, but National Blinds can help you with this. I also suggest getting a remote control.
i would have macy's plantation shutters put in. you'd have to use a long pole to move the shutters closed or open. but i think that it would work and look very clean.
Wood blinds offer a warm and inviting look to any decor. Whether they are richly stained or painted, wood blinds are the modern alternative to shutters. All come standard with decorative valances to cover the headrail, with colorful decorative fabric tapes optional.Here
