Custom Painted Windowshades
Window shades that were painted free hand and stenciled were popular in the United States in the 1830’s –1860’s. I will custom paint your shades for $35 per square foot for average scenes (more elaborate designs are higher) or custom stencil them for $25 per square foot.
The best shades that I have found for painting are Insulated Weaver's Roll-Up Shades in white or natural made by Country Curtains. Visit their website via the link below to order shades to fit your windows. You can have Country Curtains ship your shades to me, I will custom paint them for you and then ship the finished shades to you. The shades are often a bit longer than your actual windows. It is only necessary to have the part of the shades that will be unrolled painted.
So I can confirm back to you the cost of painting, specify the following information after clicking the "Request Quote via Email" link below:
1) Size of your shades and area you want painted.
2) Stenciling or freehand painting.
3) Type of design (flowers, scenery, etc.)
To read more about painted window shades, I suggest
