Dentil Kitchen Shade

Copyright 1997, Terrell Sundermann, Castle Rock, Colorado, USA

I made this 46-inch wide by 38-inch long shade in 1997 for a Junior League Show Home in Denver, Colorado. It is a simple pieced blind made with 4-inch squares set on-point. The top of the shade has a strip of squares that mimic the dentil molding at the ceiling of the room (out-of-view). When the sun comes through the shade the seams joining the squares look like the grout between the tiles on the wall surrounding the window. I love this effect.
