Flexible slat support cords or ladder tapes (18) are attached from the head rail (13) to support a plurality of slats (15) and the bottom rail (30) from the head rail (13). The venetian blind (11) has a lift cord (23) and a lift cord lock (31) for raising and lowering the blinds and a tilt control (22) for adjusting the tilt to the blind slats (15). A pleated shade (12) is attached to the bottom rail (30) of the venetian blind (11) and has a foldable pleated shade portion having a bottom rail (36) attached to the bottom thereof. A lift cord (40) is attached through a lift cord lock (44) located in the venetian blind head rail and extends through the venetian blinds (11) and venetian blind bottom rail (30) and through the folded pleats (33) of the pleated shade (12) and attaches to the pleated shade bottom rail (36) so that the pleated shade (12) can be raised and lowered independently of the venetian blind (11) with a second lift cord (40) and lift cord lock (44) in the venetian blind head rail. <IMAGE>
