Painting Window Shades

RE: Painting Window Shades Post by Browneyedgirl (1) | (07/18/2007) Contact What keeps the paint from cracking when you roll the shade up and down? RE: Painting Window Shades Post By dosize (Guest Post) (11/14/2005) Sponge painting is a great idea! Thanks. I might try that. RE: Painting Window Shades Post By TeeTee (Guest Post) (11/11/2005) here's an idea, why not sponge paint your shades? you could do this treatment on both sides, this way, you have gorgeous color but no worries about spotches! Have fun. Designer Mom* RE: Painting Window Shades Post By Claudia - MD (Guest Post) (11/02/2005) I have tried painting lampshades and it looks uneven and splotchy with the light on. I think the same would happen to window shades with the light shining through from outside. I'd try covering them with light-weight fabric or wallpaper.

The show host used spray adhesive in a can on the shades and then attached fabric to the shade that was a better match with the room's new color scheme.

Just use spray adhesive on the window shade to adhere the fabric. RE: Painting Window Shades Post By Linda (Guest Post) (10/31/2005) I see no reason not to paint the shades. You may need to remove the trim and replace it with new in a color that works. RE: Painting Window Shades Post By Michele (Guest Post) (10/31/2005) I have never done this, but I seen it once in a womans home while in the military. She took wallpaper and put it on the shades. We weren't allowed to decorate with paint so she did this instead...easily removed when she moved. Good Luck.
