shutters.....sos

[IWANTEXOTIC]

hi all...
i have a situation regarding shutters i'd like to put on justfor in my masterbath,over the jacuzzi...i hear that they have to be made...especially if it's the windows that have the rounded tops,like what i have...not the standard square windows,but the windows that have the fan type shape. id like to install nice wood shutter,or maybe the faux...just to get by but unsure if what im hearing that they have to be custome made.
id like to keep the round part of the window free n clear of anything obstruction of light,since i have sun screamin in ,which i love but still have the shutters go half way from middle to bottom,for privacy
hope i made sence.
any ideas,where i can go n look,with out spending an arm and a leg?

shutters are one of the more expensive hard treatments. if you don't have a window that can accomodate the standard sizes you can get off the shelf at a home improvement warehouse (which are still pretty costly), then they have to be custom made, which is even more expensive.

if these are just to "get you by", then do something less expensive like 2" wood blinds. they still have a similar look to shutters, but are less money than shutters. or even a 2" vinyl blind. why spend much on something that you're planning on taking down eventually anyway?

take a trip to your nearest store that sells window treatments (Lowes, Home Depot, JCPenney, etc...) & take a look at all the options available. everything eventually goes on sale, so wait for that before you buy.
