Blinds

[poliphilo]

I understand curtains. I've lived with curtains all my life. If I were buying new curtains it would simply be a question of what colour I fancied.  But blinds? I've not done blinds before.

And in the bedroom. What if they leak light? What if they're horribly fiddly? What if I regret the decision the moment they're up?

Her Next Door has blinds. In every room. They look really clean and cool and modern. 

The only place I've dealt with blinds before is in Travel Lodges. 

I liked the salesman. He wasn't pushy. A child started laughing when he was measuring up.  What the ...?  It was his ring tone, of course. 

Ailz is no use. I voice my objections; she bounces them back at me.  Might as well talk to the wall.

Oh, all right. Let's go for it!

I usually prefer blinds AND curtains for optimum morning light blockage. However I'm often VERY remiss when it comes to dusting said blinds...because they are behind curtains.

The idea is to replace the curtains- which have been up for about ten years. I'm hoping blinds, by themselves, will be enough.

We're going for vertical blinds. I'm told they don't need much dusting...

I've found that blinds alone let in light through the cracks and around the edges.

Ten years!

...I don't think I've ever lived in one place for that long.

I've lived in this house for twenty years now.
