We just changed our day/night shades to 2" composite Venetian blinds in the LR & kitchen. Because of the width of the new blinds we had to build new window surrounds and upholster them with a much nicer fabric. The new upholstery and blinds look great and have completely changed the look of the room. On ours the original day/night shades were mounted to the window surrounds and we removed them as a unit.

If you don't want to take the time to do it your self be sure to pick someone who has done this before. It took us some time to figure out how to do this and learned as we went.
