Instructions for creating and installing many styles of shades are provided with both the beginner and the expert do-it-yourself homemaker in mind. Included are tips creating countless variations on classic styles, including roman shades, cloud shades, balloon shades, Austrian shades, and shade toppers. The environmental advantages of shades are also stressed, with detailed information on shades' ability to conserve energy by holding heat during the winter while reflecting the sun in the summer.

This shade book is a wonderful resource/library book. The author gives good instructions and uses many pictures to help the beginner create their shade. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in creating several different shades. Judy Lindahl wrote a complete book - you only need this book to create any shade.
