In Washington, we used to point to the houses that always had their blinds closed and their curtains drawn and declare that they were hoarder houses. Here, everyone keeps their blinds closed. It could be that they are all hoarders, but I doubt it. It is more likely that the sidewalk for the apartments passes beside the windows. It is a little close for comfort even if you aren't a particularly private person.
Like Seattle, it has started raining again and will be for the foreseeable future. I thought that El Nino years were supposed to be dryer than normal. Glad that I bought that umbrella.
The curtains look nice. I keep my curtains closed all the time, I don't like it when people look in. It also keeps the house cooler during the summer. Am I a hoarder? Probably, if you look at craft supplies.
ReplyDeleteI have a goodwill umbrella that has a different color panel all the way around. Rainbow. I bought it because it is large and you can push a button to open and to close it. But I've loved rainbow colors since I was a child, so it makes my inner kid happy, too.
I use block out curtains too in the summer and when it is super cold in the winter even though I have no neighbors that can see in my windows!
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty, last year I added floral curtains to the living room for the summer to add some pizzaz to what became my bedroom while I was sleeping there and caring for my hubby in Hospice.
Looks like you've made a nice place for yourself!
