The blind was fully down and not intended to be rolled up. Somehow the top of the blind was attached to the slinding rails inside the wardrobe frame. Or maybe they were attached inside so the top was hidden? Anyway the idea was they would still slide back and forth. It looked very good. The stiffer kind would work best I suppose.

The part that I cut off was used for making kites and various other crafts by my children one of them being axles for model cars. I cut off the bottom part to fit another window.

My solution was to trim the sides (about 3 inches off each) and attach it to a semi-ugly bookshelf I had. The bookshelf looks great now, and it hides the clutter (and my modem/router) too!
