 This will be a good one for Tania! :)
We have blinds and we all like them open for the sunlight! We do have curtains over the bedrooms, too. They're the blackout ones because dh used to work nights & sleep days.

 Most of the windows have blinds on them.  We do have some with nothing on them and a few that have curtains.

 We have blinds on most of our windows. I have huge kitchen windows that I want to put curtains on to let more of the light in. They are usually open all the time anyway. I took the blind out of the living room and put up curtains last year. Dh added a covered porch on the front so it was too dark with them up.

 We have both on all of the windows. Plus during the winter months we have plastic to help cut down on the heating costs. I love have the windows open in the spring/summer listening to the trains come through town!!!

 My living room and dining room have sheers and curtains. The rest of the house is blinds, mostly wooden white ones.

 When I met dh he had those thick vertical blinds and they were green. I might add they were also ATROCIOUS!

 The front of our house is all windows and faces east.  The morning sun is beautiful but blinding, so we have blinds across the whole front.

 We have blinds on all the windows. We also have curtains in the bedrooms to help block out the light. I would like to get some curtains for our living room to help it feel more put together but I haven't found anything I like.

 Blinds everywhere!  I don't like them in the living room and dining room.  They are so dated as far as color, but I never close them, and I don't know what else to do.

 The windows on the front of the house have blinds that all match...except the large living room window...it has curtains.  All the bedrooms have blinds.  The rooms on the back of the house have valances and are open to our backyard.

 We have "warm window" blinds in the living and dining room because our house was built in 1924 and the windows are single pane.  I keep them closed most of the time in the winter so we don't lose too much heat.  The rest of the windows either have curtains or vinyl blinds except the kitchen which is bare.

 We have blinds.  They are white and such a pain to keep clean with the cat constantly marking his areas on them.

 Mostly blinds and curtains.  We have tab tops in most of the rooms, so the blinds provide the privacy and the curtains make it look good. :winkb:
