Back to shopping....arg

Normally I like shopping but this time I'm fairly annoyed. I did a lot of pricing, comparing, measuring, etc before I purchased the Roman blinds that we have in our house. They all match which looks nice, clean, & uniform. Well after only having them up for about 1 1/2 months they faded & looked stupid. I called the company & had them replaced. I then proceeded to treat them with a UV protectant but probably should have done a few coats because now they are discoloring AGAIN. Now I have to do more shopping around to find something else that will work for us. It wasn't easy the first time to find something that would fit all our different windows & I even had to have one custom made which was pricey. Guess I'll be spending the better part of my day searching for something that won't fade, won't cost us a fortune & will be nice looking. I never thought shades would drive me so crazy. Oh well, could be much worse so I choose to have a good attitude about it.
