Curtains & Blinds

OMG, do I ever!

I can't imagine being lulled to sleep with the sound of lashing washes with the fresh scent of a cool ocean breeze.

Thank you for thinking of me and posting this, Asp!

Unfortunately highway 1 lies between the ocean and the house, but it's largely obscured by the hill the house is on. So the sound of the ocean isn't really available, but the view of the ocean is spectacular so one could put the ocean setting on a noise generator and still have the effect of the ocean.

That is a shame about the ocean sound not being as prominent as one might be lead to believe, but quite right, the view is over the top soothing.
 
I do not care for venetian blinds. They are cheap and fall apart. I purchased room darkening insolated drapes and I have dark curtains under those. My home gets drafty no matter the season so, this helps my utility bills.
 

Initially I had only blinds. Someone had lots of fabrics to give away and they were not ideal type to make clothes. Because I know how to sew I turned them into this window treatments. In the winter I open both blinds and drapes/curtains to let the sun in to warm the house. In the summer I close both to keep the heat out.

I have top down/bottom up blinds on all the main level windows. Privacy is required when you live in the city, IMO. I can lower them half way to control visibility and light. Both bedrooms have black out drapes too.
 
I have three large windows in my studio apartment that have blinds on them which I close at night. But light still comes in at night and it is fine with me. Doesn't bother me at all. My curtains are sheers and I use them for adding color to my all white walls.
