    Finally put the blind on kitchen skylight

    We love the skylight in the kitchen but sometimes it gets really warm under it or messes with the tv. For under $55 and about 5 minutes to install, it looks like a factory installed product.

    Now Im doing the dimmer switch....Click image for larger version.  Name: 7BB81C28-EF1A-4B1B-B844-D6CDE26A65FC.jpeg  Views: 92  Size: 559.6 KB  ID: 20778Click image for larger version.  Name: 0781F3D4-B20E-4818-B56D-2FA6B81201BB.jpeg  Views: 91  Size: 899.2 KB  ID: 20779

    Be interested in where you got this. Looks just like factory. Great idea.

    Yes, but can you reach it while standing on the floor? We can't reach the skylight over our island while standing on the floor. Oh, you have a trailer? Not a 5th wheel, right?

    It comes from United Shade. I picked the color closest to our blinds. Great match!

    I saw that web page while searching for a skylight cover but dismissed it because of the wood-look framework. I see you have white framework so obviously they have that as an option so I'll have to reconsider now. Thanks for sharing.
