Hi DP. There is an online retailer that sells parts for all blind types. I will provide the link below. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Sensible_man is correct. You will have to strip the white paint before you can use a stain. Any stripper you use might weaken the fibers in the cord used to make them open/close, raise/lower.Talk about a job!!! If you try to darken them as they are now, they'll just look dirty. You'd be better off using paint instead. If you have 1 slat that never shows you could try it and see what you think of the results, but I'd lay odds you'll hate it. I feel for you. Hope you find something that works for you.

The Turner's Workshop (www.turnersworkshop.co.uk) make turned wooden items to order. Contact them and I'm sure they would make any style or design you want in any wood to match your room.

John Lewis sells them if you do live near a store.

I agree with the other answers --- adapt something to suit!
