I have curtains. When I moved in the apartment, they had vertical blinds. Those metal/plastic ones that make a lot of noise when the wind blows thru them. So I finally took them down and put up curtains. Love it so much more!

Blinds & Curtains in each & every room.

We have blinds on all of our windows. I do open them up on really sunny days.

we put in wide faux wood blinds (white). i cant decide on what kind of window treatments i want. in the meantime, these are fine. most likely i'll end up just living with them as is.

we have blinds (came with apt) and dh does the same thing! I hate it being so dark all the time - it's depressing

He also pulls the curtain over them - says "people can see in"

i say "if that's all they have to do, then let them"

no blinds wood shutters and 2 sets of mini-blinds.

blinds and curtains, though I just took down the cafe rod curtains in the kitchen and just have the top with the blinds.

our house came with blinds and I like them. Like you, I love

the sunshine pouring in during the day. Our old house didn't have any blinds and we had to buy curtains. Geez, curtains are hard to find and expensive.

wood shutters. the previous owners put them in, and they are good quality. i love them.

Cordless micro cellular shades from Blinds To Go in the living room and dining room windows that face the front, also the front facing windows in our bedroom. Our bedroom and living room have valances on the top, the dining room has nothing (there is a wall paper border that runs along the top of the wall and the cordless shades give a clean, complete look and practically disappear when they are raised). I love these shades. They are so clean looking and easy to pull up and down. We raise them every morning because we love all the light coming in and just seeing out into our beautiful yard. We basically got them to have privacy in the front at night.

Kitchen, den and sunroom face our yard and are blocked enough from our neighbors where privacy isn't an issue, so those windows have no shades, some just have valances at the top. We have a lot of nature and woods and love just being able to see it all so much that we recently even had our two back doors changed to full glass. Love all the light and colors of nature coming in.

We have a mixture of curtains and blinds everywhere except in our kitchen. I can't find what I want for that room (black roman shades) so I'm waiting to do a custom order.

Oh... forgot to mention my scrappy room (how could I?!!!!). It's actually also our computer room and home office. We had it extended and made a lot larger a few years back and we LOVE it.

Two big windows facing the back yard with pleated shades that are up all the time. Only there for privacy so when someone is working in the yard (like the mowers or the Sentricon man) we can pull them so they can't see in.

I have both...curtains & blinds, some windows have both in them, some have just curtains. The big windows have the heavy drapes that keep some of the heat out.

davsar · Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:11 pm

We have blinds on all our windows. I like to open them during the day and close them at night, but I hate them being pulled up. With them just open people can't see in. If they are drawn up I feel like my whole life is on display.

SBcrazee · Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:14 pm

Drapes in the bedrooms & one family room window that faces the front. The sliding doors & windows that face the side/backyard are all open.

mkcdaisy · Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:24 pm

I have the wood blinds in all rooms but the master and they are getting changed in march or april. I also have curtains on them all to look pretty.

Kara · Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:27 pm

no curtains.... drives my mom nuts...

we do have blinds in the bedrooms though--more for the cold then anything else though

Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:43 pm

curtains or drapes on all windows.

deerewife · Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:45 pm

We have blinds in the bedrooms and bathrooms (more for darkness factors than for privacy) and nothing on the rest of the house. Of course we live in the back corner of 20 acres. We are going to put up blinds in the living room only because it gets so much sun that some days it's too warm.

Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:54 pm

Some are bare, some have blinds and some have curtains... The kitchen window has BOTH!
