Stencils applied to an inexpensive shade can be a quick fix to ugly shades, I would try to cover the top though but I like where this is going.
Especially in a children's room or another casual area. Southern Living used stencils from Sunny's Paint, here a couple more I liked from there...

I really like the monogram one!
When I first saw these I thought the same thing. I hate roller shades b/c they always seem to get stuck. But these actually look nice, and could be paired with a valence or shade topper and be just the ticket to provide black out when needed.
Love it!!! Especially for the fun and casual spaces of your home!
Very neat! I like the first one
Love this idea and love your blog! So glad I came across it yesterday. xo
I agree! I loved that feature!!
Catching up on my blog reading and saw your post on your family. So thankful for you that they are all ok.
Hugs,

I saw these in Southern Living and loved them! I really love the one with the monogram!
I'm in love with the idea of these ... Like you, I would definitely want to find a way to cover the top, but this seems like a cheap-chic way to liven up a space. Very noncommittal and easy to clean or replace for someone who has two high-energy dogs like we do! Maybe we could get Young House Love to do a how-to ...
I would totally do these in a child's room or play room...or a craft area, so fun! I do agree though, a valance whether it is fabric or wood would finish it off on top.
I love the blogosphere for exposing us to ideas that people can use to freshen up their space under any circumstances (rental) for any budget (not a lot).
So I am down with this.
love the monogrammed one!
What a fabulous DIY idea to add some pizazz to a space. I can see this working great in a kids' room where you could do something really fun. I agree, this concept would even take it to the next level with a fabulous cornice/valance. Love the monogram idea.
very cute and inexpensive idea!!!
These are so cute! The monogrammed one is great, and would be so easy to do!
I totally agree: a pelmet would be a great addition to really make these look high end.
I agree, but how great does the monogram one look.
gorgeous! plus so so so affordable!
I love this idea and the endless possibilities!
Oh baby! I am all over this project. How cute!
That looks amazing! I want to try this!
I saw that feature and am going to try it!
Oooh, I'm really liking that first one (it might also have something to do w/ that red-painted trim). Great project; I may have to file this one for a kids' room.
I LOVE this!!
Great post... the monograms are very chic!
I love this idea. I am definitely going to look into this for my kitchen window. Soo glad your family is all safe!
I saw this in Southern Living too! Very cute and easy idea! I love Anne Turner Carroll - she comes up with such cool things.
But I thought the same thing about a valance to cover up the roller part.
I like it - particularly the monogram. And I wouldn't feel guilty if I got tired of it and wanted to change it out. Marija
The monogram one would be cute in a bedroom! Wonder if they would fade??
Such a great idea!!! I love this post.
i saw that too and was smitten. esp. the monogram. such a great cheap idea. gonna use it somewhere.
Yet another proof that creativity means more than money when it comes to beautiful design!!
I think these could really work in the right room.
