A Beauty View of all our stories about Beauti-Vue woven wood shades and more

pam kueber - September 25, 2015, Updated: August 20, 2021

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

retro woven wood window shadesGolly, is there anything more exciting than finding business that’s been in the same family for 67 years — and which has a back o’ the warehouse full of New Old Stock treasures that are finally back in style?  In all, we ended up with 12 stories about Beauti-Vue Products. To make it a little easier to see them all, we put them on one Beauty View-tiful page. We hope you enjoyed our Beauti-Vue miniseries as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you!

  • Colorful trim for a cafe curtain, valance or shade
  • Inspiration: 22 page Beauti-Vue catalog from the 1970s
  • Beauti-Vue’s labor intensive weaving process — on a giant loom

    Thank you for your article. I was looking for something different for my bedroom windows and opted to use Beauti Vue. I am so glad I did! Joy was a delight to work with and the woven woods blinds in a sunny yellow pattern was just what my Florida home needed. I love the uniqueness and the ability to open them each day and bring the outdoors in! Thank you!

    Thank you so very much for featuring the Beauti-Vue story. I enjoyed it very much! I recently received the swag lamp & beaded doorway I ordered & am waiting to put them up in my soon to be 1970’s tiki bar basement. I had a wonderful time chatting with Stormy & Joy while ordering, & hope to order more beaded curtains for the windows. These were perfect & just what I was looking for in the basement. Thank you Pam & Kate for all the help I have received throughout the years with my mid century home.
