This McKinney project started as an online request, and by the time we visited, the owner already knew the rooms that mattered: the master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a home office with three windows side by side on one wall. Twelve windows in total, and the office was the one with the real problem, because three windows in a row put a lot of sun on a desk.
The bedrooms got zebra shades in warm neutrals. The master received Independence in beige, from our blackout zebra line, on its wide window, and the second bedroom got Lebanon in ivory on a pair of windows, both fitted inside the frame so the trim stays visible. Closed, the Independence shade gives the master room darkening. Rolled open they keep the rooms bright. Rolled closed they give the privacy a bedroom needs.
The office received Campbell, a darker fabric with more body, on all three windows as a matched set. With the bands overlapped the direct sun is off the desk, and because it is still a zebra shade the owner can roll it to a lighter setting when the sun moves off that side of the house.
Twelve shades, measured on site and installed in a single visit in February 2026. Two rooms for rest, one room for work, and the fabric in each chosen for what the room does.
