I rarely opened blinds when we lived in places that had them. I didn't want to look through the slats, and I like them to hang perfectly evenly if they are going to be pulled up and open. They rarely do, so I just left them closed and lived in a cave....which causes sun-deprivation depression for me. People who do not live in sunny places-even during winter-probably do not relate. I am very spoiled where I live!
We have 33 windows. I have curtains on all of them....and nothing else. Open or closed. Sun or no sun. View or no view. The basement windows came with blinds. I hate them. They are also covered with curtains.
We also hired someone to hang all 33 curtain rods. My marriage couldn't handle the stress of even that simple level of handy work!
My dream non-curtain window covering is those cloth blinds that open from the bottom and the top. Swoon. A relative has them.

That all makes sense
We only have like ten windows. I don't super love cleaning blinds, but I do like the way the faux wood ones look.
Whoa, I didn't know they made blinds that went from bottom to top!!
