A Beautiful Blind
When it comes to window treatments, I really like the look of the sheer white curtain because of the way the sunlight spills in, slightly muted and because of how cozy the place looks at night time from the outside. Unfortunately, the problem is exactly at night time from the outside. Those romantic, white sheer curtains also allow anyone and everyone to take a good long look inside your home from the sidewalk. They can see you but you can’t see them. I do not like that idea at all. So I never get the white sheer curtains.
What I think are the best window coverings after that are blinds and shades. Especially bamboo shades. Oy man do I love the look of bamboo shades. They are simple, neat, elegant, cooling, and go with anything. Someday, I will have my place outfitted with these on every window in the place.
Unless, of course, I come in to a lot of money. Then I will cover half my windows with bamboo shades and the other half with roman shades because, wow! These are pretty, pretty, pretty!
You would be amazed at how something as simple as changing your window covering can completely transform a place. If you’ve been thinking of an update to your house, get a bucket of paint and order some new window treatments. It’s inexpensive and the difference can be like night and day.
