Great article. I've done window treatments and blinds myself and have worked with a rep from http://www.budgetblinds.com/ and have had good luck.

I'm good with design but the measuring and installing can be a pain sometimes.

Window curtains are great for beautifying one's home. It must properly match the wall paint color and the theme of the entire house! Some home owners prefer to pass that kind of work to the experts, and just coordinate what style they desire from the sidelines. Of course, who wouldn't want a lovely home to live in?
