Roman blinds in the living room

FREE IMAGES Now that the walls have been knocked down between our living room and dining room, and a breakfast bar added between the dining room and the kitchen, we have to start thinking about light fixtures, and windows.  I really like the idea of using crisp, no-fuss roman blinds.

With a dog floor length drapes tend to get dirty and collect a lot of dust, so I think for us roman blinds will be an easier option.

I'm leaning towards crisp white drapes, which I've made before out of mini blinds and a medium weight fabric.  Maybe a little trim at the bottom for color.
