I used to think they were uncool, until I installed the first curtains in my apartment and loved them ever since. They make such a soft light, compared to shutters. <br /><br />Having visited lots of US blogs, I noticed, shutters (inside, not on the outside) are the norm?!<br /><br />Is there another redecoration in the pipeline? A very nice new facet to "simplicity, vegan cooking, gardening, style" :-)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842556959891396007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-88782382569514704092011-12-05T02:18:31.792-08:002011-12-05T02:18:31.792-08:00Dear Janet,
