Custom-sized, budget-friendly rolling window shades are a great addition to your home! The jute-like textured window shades we installed in our Master Bedroom bay window give our room an elevated look that we love.
Now, before you get too excited – this post is not my master bedroom reveal. Instead, it’s the next best thing – a sneak peek at some of the master bedroom details that have made this room such a dream for me.
Click here if you want to see our master bedroom full reveal. It’s a good one!
Today, I want to talk about our oh-so-lovely, affordable, textured, jute-like rolling window shades from Blindsgalore.com. These babies provide great light control, privacy and they’re easy to clean and wash. Custom shades are gorgeous and this set was the perfect way to finish off our master bedroom update.

Master Bedroom Details
I’ll also mention a few other master bedroom details that added a touch of sophistication and charm to this space.
If you want to spice up your bedroom with great decor pieces, the items I’ll be mentioning are worth a try! From window coverings, DIY upcycled desks, to lamps, and many more. Your master bedroom will come to life in no time.
I’ll give you the run down on this dresser/desk (we call it a “dresk”) which was an old, hand-me-down, somebody-save-me piece of furniture that we were so happy to receive.
And perhaps I’ll throw in the details of this DIY Pillow, and yummy, fluffy, texture-y, throw blanket – from Carmel Decor.
I might also mention the sparkly chandelier from Home Depot.
And the $5.00 curtain rod we DIY’ed and painted from a piece of electrical conduit from Home Depot. Not to mention the semi-sheer clearance fabric I found at Joanne’s. It made 4 light filtering curtain panels for $30.00.
But, I think I’ll mostly talk about how much improved our master bedroom is from the BEFORE IMAGE.
And how I feel like a sleeping princess each time I wake up (except with 4 kids jumping all over me).
I just hope you’ll check out the rest of the room – there is so much more to talk about 😉
Rolling Window Shades for Large Windows
For now, let’s talk a bit more about the beautiful window shades we just installed in this bedroom. I had the great honor to be sponsored by Blindsgalore.com for this product, and I am thrilled to introduce you to this specific line of textured, jute-like rolling window shades.
Blindsgalore had me hooked the moment I saw these beauties on their site. It’s the convenience, versatility and affordability of roller shades—and the textured beauty of jute blinds—all in one. These shades come from the specific line called “Kellie Clements Simply Chic Roller Shades: Textured“.
These jute-like roller blinds come in many colors and textures, meant to look like the natural fibers it’s inspired from. I choose the “Jute Filigree” variety, which pairs beautifully with the surrounding whites and blues.
If you are on the market for blinds, shades, drapery, or shutters—I highly recommend checking out blindsgalore.com. They have plenty of custom window treatments to choose from. Whether you want room darkening or blackout shades, cellular shades, roman shades, custom drapery, wood blinds, faux wood or vinyl shutters, they are sure to have it!
Tips for Choosing Window Treatments
From all my research looking online for blinds, the Blindsgalore.com site was the most user-friendly—hands down. They even have a super handy help section that will walk you through measuring the correct window dimensions and the installation processes for your window coverings.
If you find yourself not knowing where to begin, checkout their Ultimate Guide to Buying Window Treatments to learn about different types of window blinds, drapes and shades. If you want to consult with their expert design consultants, you also can do that. Or you simply browse their website for inspiration.
The jute-like shades I selected are even prettier in person. I’m delighted with the color styles and look that these light filtering window shades offer.
The Master Bedroom “Dresk”
Now, let’s take a moment to discuss this “dresk” that was given to us from a neighbor and gracefully saved by my husband.
The “dresk” looked like this to start with. (Picture courtesy goes to my husband, who left the clutter in the background and the one-year-old hand ready to beat the furniture).
I wanted this dresser it to take up a little less visual space, and have the added benefit of being able to sit at it and do some reading.
Unfortunately, this dresser was covered with a few layers of 100-year-old paint jobs. After some handy reconstruction to remove the bottom drawer and some horrid paint-eating chemical treatments, my husband had this piece ready for me to re-paint to my liking.
I left the top, a lovely antique wood color as it is, and used Rust-oleum Chalk paint (linen color) for the body.
Now she is a real functional beauty and only needs a few things on top to take center stage in the bedroom.
Like a plant from the grocery store—on top of some boxwood from the garden—on top of an old box from grandpa’s junkyard.
And of course – THE LAMP.
Graciously provided by Carmel Decor, a lamp like this could be a total splurge and major statement for any room.
You could also shop Carmel Decor for cozy blanket throws, like this one below.
Throw that blanket and pillow in a .75 cent thrift store basket – and you’ve got yourself some high style!
Master Bedroom Decor Tutorials
To make the pillow cover, I used a bleached drop cloth material. You can see how I prepared the fabric in my how to bleach a drop cloth tutorial. It makes for the most gorgeous sewing projects!
Next, I discovered this cotton image, HERE, on Pinterest and applied it to my fabric using my favorite ink transfer technique. This technique is an easy way to add darling, custom details to your projects.
And that’s it! Just look at how gorgeous this space turned out! We enjoyed crafting this little corner of the master bedroom and seeing the full picture come alive in front of our eyes.

I’m having trouble finding the “Kellie Clements Simply Chic Roller Shades: Textured on the BlindsGalore website or the affiliate link here so I can purchase. Where is the link? Thanks so much!
Hi! I really love what you and hubs did with bedroom. While the blinds intrigued me most want to learn how to make the curtain rods from conduit please? And how you hung them.
Could you pls send the link to this exact shade? Color, etc.?
Beautiful!!!
In case anyone is wondering about which drop cloths she used, (since it wasn’t listed, and she doesn’t respond to comments), the BEST drop cloth i have used is by Chicago Canvas and Supply. You can get them on Amazon. 100% cotton. The 9×12 is one HUGE piece with no seams. Wash before use, because it will shrink. Bit.
I am confused as to why the blogger does not reply to any of the questions in the comments.
I am looking for blinds and find her space very inspirational but would like to hear her responses to some of the concerns from her readers.
Yes, I also wonder why she wouldn’t respond to any, but not one of the comments? Some lady down below even posted a link to her page and no one removed that.
I’m glad I read the comments and saw how old this post was. Because Pinterest is pushing it like it’s from yesterday. Goes to show that designs do have a 5 to 7 year turn around. ☺️
FYI I ordered these shades and they are not textured. They are printed on vinyl, and there is no texture at all. The pattern repeats every 4 or 6 inches, so if she were to pull the shades all the way down in the blog you’d see it repeating way too much. It’s also light filtering, but are essentially blackout, which isn’t what we wanted at all. No light gets through, but light will get “around” them on the sides. The company will only let you exchange (not return) up to 4 items per household after you show proof of donation (can’t ship back b/c of COVID policies), but can’t exceed the price of the original item with the exchange. Be cautious, order all sorts of samples, and understand the “guarantee” before you buy.
Good to know! Thank you for your review!
Love this look. Talk to me more about the curtain rod made from electrical conduit. Specifically how you connected them at the places where your have angles. I have a similar wall in our master bedroom that has 5 windows and each window is on a different angle to make a semi-circle on that wall. We have blind but I can’t figure out how to put up a curtain rod. Thanks!
How is 90 bucks a shade inexpensive?
I have a bow window and was looking for curtain rods and can’t find any that have corners can you tell me exactly how you made yours? Did you buy rods and get elbows?
Your room is beautiful, great job! Can you please share the paint color you used?
does anyone know if the regular valance was used or the one you have to order additionally? It is hard to tell from the photo.
That is a beautiful thing you have done to your blinds. I would like to use it at my house.
Good morning Cami,
Can you please tell me what color blinds you chose? I ordered samples and can’t really tell which one you used. Also I don’t see any responses to the questions posted. Are your replys not displayed for a reason?
Thank you!
Since she doesn’t reply to comments, I thought I’d point out that above she writes ” I choose the “Jute Filigree” variety”. So the color is Filigree.
Good morning Cami,
Can you please tell me what color blinds you chose? I ordered samples and can’t really tell which one you used. Thank you!
Hi Cami, I’m also wondering which valence you chose. Everything looks beautiful!
Hi Cami! Did you choose a valence for these blinds or simply stay with just the roller shade. I can’t tell from your pictures, but they are truly beautif. Love your room!!
I just wanted to warn people about this product as to my recent experience. The shades are pretty, but I’ve had a horrible time with customer service. Be careful choosing your mounting options. We did inside mount based on the websites directions. Their “inside” mount is actually top mounted and they stated we should have choose “side” mount which was not an option given when going through the process. Now we can’t hang the shades they sent and they want us to send them back at our expense to exchange them. Given that their instructions are lacking I feel this is unfair and will not be ordering anymore window coverings from them in the future because of this experience. If you are going to order them do yourself a favor and call your order in because the website does not provide enough details.
The post is really awesome and entertaining. It kept my eyes glued to it. It has become my favorite pastime reading to your posts. Thanks for the information you have provided in your blog as it proved to be very helpful for me in start writing my own blogs you have provided in this blog as it proved to be very helpful to me..
So glad I saw your recommendation for blindsgalore! We are doing a major farm house remodel and I’ve been looking for something perfect for my kitchen windows. Exactly what I needed – just ordered them. Thank you!1
Hi, I also love the color of these blinds, but I must warn you. I had something similar years ago above my kitchen sink ended up swopping it out as they are hard to clean. The pull cord was string which was also skanky.
Cami,
Did you do the blackout option in shades or just light filtering? We only have one window in our master and other bedrooms but I’m wondering how bright the light filtering shades remain in sunlight.
What is the color of the roller shades? They look so incredible, I want to make sure I get the right one:)
Just saw this on Pinterest. My name is Cami too. ☺️
Love this room! The light is fantastic! What are the faux jute blinds made of? Hmmmm… Beautiful job!
Just found your blog via Pinterest and love your style! You have a gorgeous bedroom and should be proud. Bravo!
Love the light and airy feeling of your room! Looks amazing!
Did you choose the light filtering or the black out blinds? Love, love, love the look of these blinds. Your room is beautiful!
Your room looks just beautiful! I love the tans colors along with the white!

I used to be all about color, but I’m really starting to feel the coolness and crispness of white on white. It’s really grown on me this past year. This room is just a little piece of heaven on earth. Beautiful!
I’m in love! Can you come do my room next…. seriously are you for hire?!? I love how you even show your thought processes, such as the before pics and what you hope the afters to look like, so inspiring!
Cami, I read this post about an hour ago, connected to blinds galore, saw they ship samples for free 🙂 and ordered four of them. They just notified me that they have been shipped already! Super service! Thanks for your info.
You’ve created a stunning yet serene bedroom. I actually have room envy now. Cheers, Ardith
Love everything about your space. Very soft & bright with natural lighting Add in something to cut softness with a touch of industrial(table lamp). I have added the dresser make over to my list of DIYs and to think i Just gave 2 antique dressers away 🤪
