Curtains For Curtains

[poliphilo]

 I don't care for curtains. We live in the country and we're not overlooked so why have curtains at any but the bedroom windows? I never draw curtains at downstairs windows. I like the night. I don't want to shut it out. 

We did away with the bathroom curtains when we had the room made over- and Ailz has been talking about replacing them- because "privacy".  So I said,"How about putting pot plants on the sills?" And that's what we've done. Ferns to be precise. They stop people in microlights looking in on us when we're not wearing very much. Plus lovely natural greenness. Plus oxygen.

In winter, drawing the curtains is a cheap form of double glazing - but I'm always reluctant to shut out summer evenings. To avoid being woken by the sun in the mornings, maybe. I'm with you on bathroom curtains, though - if you're not overlooked, what's the point?

I take the point about double glazing.
