Drapes, this time




If there is something that we need to put in the house to make the interior look grand, primary it is nothing else but drapes. Just try to imagine a mansion house with venetian blinds all over. They may still fit but will tone down the look of the elegance of the house. It can still be so stylish but you cannot deny the fact that drapes will make the ambiance to look expensive. Even in a house that is not as big, say, you have 150 floor area, you can still make the interior to look like you are in a mansion house by putting on drapes, match it with wall paintings and expensive couch or sofa set, and you'll get your desired look of elegance and touch of luxury.

Windows again!



Good thing, I was able to put up some old curtains in the new apartment. Bugs probably thought they are screens plus the fact, illumination from inside appears less to bugs flying outside. My new abode is not anymore as attractive to bugs.Good thing! With the storm threatening the country and without some window covers on, we can bet my new place is a target nest.

Well, we have talked so much of window covers' aesthetic use from the previous posts and now my new experience urges me to stress so much on its practical use. The time that I had not gotten my curtains and other lines from the previous apartment, I would improvise blanket or used towel to cover my windows.I bet we came to a realization that practical use comes first and anything that serves it is made just artistic. That is where aesthetics come to front.

This is different from wall paintings, I bet, which practical use is when you consider it as an investment.

Screens for Windows




It has been a while I guess or maybe a week prior to my last visit on here. We stopped with window covers and let us continue now with window screens. We have dwelt so much as to how window covers will make the home interior stylish and beautiful. But we have not really touched how important window screens in some places. Good if you landed on a spot where your house is good enough with window covers set on them. Otherwise, the practical use of screens will be important than the aesthetic use of window covers.

I had to browse for artyii and check on the latest catalog of wall paintings but being in a spot where view is close to mountains, I once experience how to be a member of “Bug’s Life”. Name it from baby grasshopper to some bugs I do not how they are called. And this is because I have not attended to my windows yet. Aside from the fact that I have not set window covers yet which will be practically useless without screens, I have not thought of putting on screens yet. And you know in a spot like this, you’ll know if the place will be hit by a strong rain, bugs flock to wherever there is light and my Laptop LCD illuminates from the balcony. The fact that I love this place from the beginning, I was left with no choice but to love its imperfection, as well. Anyway, so long and see you next time for a more informative post.

Window Cover-- persian or slats




Persian or slats are the most common among blinds. This can be wood, vinyl or may even be made of metal. There is a rod and string on the side so you can rotate or flip to close and open. Aside from that you can get cheap blinds made of these, they are also very decorative in your home making it not just a window cover but a wall art, too.

This, plus a simple wall painting is enough to make a space stand out.
