Okay, so this is a really lame before picture, but I have an excuse: our camera was broken. This is the only before picture I could find, but you get the idea. As you can see, I hung the curtains too low. Secondly, the plain blind in the inside didn't really fit the window. I bought them in desperation when we first moved in to avoid giving our neighbors a peep show. The blinds were designed to fit inside the window or outside the window trim, but I had to install them right on the trim...
New and improved.
After I worked up some gumption (it only took two years) I cut down the roman blinds, cutting the plastic piece at the top with a hack saw, cut down the fabric to make them fit into the window. I resembled adding this fabric to the top of the original blind, tacking it in a few spots with fabric glue. And they still function perfectly and now you can see the window trim too.

I also rehung the curtians to lift them higher, so things didn't look so squatty. Wow, I wish I would have done this project a year ago.
