Let me know what you find out and who you use.

We bought wood blinds (Hunter Douglas) for a paneled room. Matching the wood was a primary reason that we used a local company. It has also been nice that I can walk in and get replacement parts (its always where the rotator stick meets the hardware) for free.

Make sure you know how to measure them. I have a bay window and did not measure the correctly. I can not put up the front part that hides the blind thingy.

Yes, from American Blinds and Wallpaper, which is at www.decoratetoday.com. We bought Hunter Douglas 2" wood blinds. We went to Lowe's and borrowed their samples to match the color since our woodwork was white and we didn't want them to be too bright. We then ordered them online and they turned out great. I don't remember how much it cost but we ended up saving about 30% of what it would have cost us at Lowe's or Home Depot.
