Budget-friendly roller shades can be beautiful too! We love the jute like texture we installed in our Master Bedroom bay window.
Now, before you get too excited – this post is not my master bedroom reveal. It is the next best thing.
To see our bedroom full reveal, visit this blog post.
Today – I wanted to devote my topic to these oh-so-lovely affordable textured jute-like roller shades from Blindsgalore.com
And a few other details centered around the window.
This dresser/desk, (we call it a “dresk”) is an old, hand-me-down, somebody-save-me piece of furniture.
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. And the clearance fabric I found at Joanne’s and made 4 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 (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 😉
For now, let’s talk a bit more about the roller shades. 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 roller shades. They had me hooked the moment I saw them on their site. It is the convenience and affordability of roller shades – and the textured beauty of jute blinds – all in one. They come from the specific line called “Kellie Clements Simply Chic Roller Shades: Textured“.
They come in all sorts of colors and textures, meant to look like the natural fibers from which they are inspired. 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. From all my research in online ordering for blinds , this site was the most user friendly – hands down. There are so many options, it really can be an overwhelming task to choose the right ones.
I can tell you, these shades are even prettier in person and I am delighted with the look.
This “dresk” was given to us by a neighbor – and gracefully saved by my husband.
It 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 it to take up a little less visual space, and have an added benefit of being able to sit at it and do some reading – and not to mention a few less layers of 100 year old paint jobs. After some handy reconstruction and some horrid paint eating chemicals, he had it ready for me to re-paint to my liking.
I left the top it’s lovely antique wood color, 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 junk yard.
And of course – THE LAMP.
Graciously provided by Carmel Decor, and could be a total splurge and major statement for any room. (Exact product unavailable for now, but other color options available, HERE).
You could also shop Carmel Decor for blanket throws, like THIS one below.
Throw it in a .75 cent thrift store basket – and you’ve got yourself some high style! To make the pillow cover, I discovered this cotton image, HERE, on pinterest. I used my favorite ink transfer technique I shared HERE. And used the steps HERE to make a pillow cover. I used bleached drop cloth, which I give detailed instructions for HERE.
I think that about covers the details I wanted to discuss in this post.

Thanks for visiting!
As always – I would love your thoughts and opinions! They are so valuable to me. What do you think of the faux jute blinds? Is the lamp too heavy for the space – or do you think it rocks?!! What would you have done to save the dresser? Any questions for me? Feel free to ask!
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 🤪
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.
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!
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!
Your room looks just beautiful! I love the tans colors along with the white!

Did you choose the light filtering or the black out blinds? Love, love, love the look of these blinds. Your room is beautiful!
Love the light and airy feeling of your room! Looks amazing!
Just found your blog via Pinterest and love your style! You have a gorgeous bedroom and should be proud. Bravo!
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!
What is the color of the roller shades? They look so incredible, I want to make sure I get the right one:)
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.
I see you don’t monetize your blog, i’v got idea how to earn some additional money using one simple
method, just search in g00gle for: ruthiezx’s method

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.
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..
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.
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!!
Hi Cami, I’m also wondering which valence you chose. Everything looks beautiful!
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!
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.
That is a beautiful thing you have done to your blinds. I would like to use it at my house.
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.
Your room is beautiful, great job! Can you please share the paint color you used?
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?
Good day. The table and the lamp look so harmonious, amazing))))

How is 90 bucks a shade inexpensive?
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!
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.
