Subject: In a perfect world, I'd live in the country and would be able to have my windows bare. Yup, buck naked. I love, and live with, the country look. But an example of what I DON'T want is: several years ago, I was in a house that was in a rural area. The house sat far enough "up" from the road that someone passing by would not be able to see in. And what did these people have in their windows!!! ???? Very, VERY heavy draperies that were snagged from their cats and, if truth be told, made their living room and dining room look like a mortuary!! Uh, we're still alive and well here. No dead bodies, no coffins. So.........anyone got any ideas?
In reply to: Sandy 's message, "I've got a question and would like some feedback. I'm getting kind of itchy to do some changes around here...........specifically, window coverings. The problem is, I am so NOT a fan of normal drapes, curtains, mini-blinds or vertical blinds. Example: for years, on my kitchen window (which only needs the bottom half covered for privacy purposes) I've used cute, quilted pillow shams clipped to curtain rings and hung from a pole. In the living room and bedroom, I've used cute quilts clipped (again) to drapery rings. It works great for privacy and also light and climate control. I'm thinking about doing something different in the living room and our bedroom - - - - - - but I don't know what!! I do watch a lot of HGTV (Designed to Sell, Design on a Dime, etc.) for ideas but was wondering what everyone here uses for their windows ......... and I hate the term "window fashions."" on 1:04:05 pm, Wed, 11/07/07

  • You know, I am going through the same thing. I am so tired of the normal window look not to mention the laundry chores of having curtains and a smoker in the house. I can't seem to come up with anything, but would love some ideas myself! (NT) -- Ramona, 1:23:18 pm, Wed, 11/07/07
  • I'm not a window covering fan either. On our sunporch I put wood blinds cause I can shove them way up but close them at night. It's 8 windows and I didn't want drapes. My dining room has the same thing with a topper, it's a southern exposure so I had to have something that blocked the sun well in the summer. My living room is a bow window but I only have a valance. We have so little traffic and I don't tend to run around naked so...I have tried covering that window and just hate the light it blocks. I have curtains in my bedroom but the spare room is a valance and shade (It's Goldies room and she lives in the window and I don't need to clean hairy curtains. I need new ones for the bathroom, just a shade right now. When I was younger I loved changing curtains and colors.... (NT) -- Denise, 3:16:14 pm, Wed, 11/07/07
