We got Roman shades in many of the windows that required something for privacy.  These ones we got are pretty unique.

The first thing you notice is no strings.  The shades are opened simply by lifting at the bottom.

There is also no attachment at the bottom, just at the top.

The second unique (and really cool) feature of these shades is that the open at the top as well as the bottom.

You simply grab the top and pull down.  This means you can have privacy while still letting some light in.  We love them!
