There are times of the year I really don't want to look outside. You know, gray, pouring rain for two-weeks straight and mud everywhere. Most of the wall space on the south side of the house is windows--the west as well. Most of the year, the views are beautiful. Art by Mother Nature.
This project was several years in the thinking stage. I wanted something to look at besides mud once in a while. And, in July and August those blinds are down too. So, today I finally did it. It took me about 5 minutes per window. It would be nicer to have my own pictures, these are stock posters. I glued them on to the shades that were already up with 3-M glue stick.
And you just roll them up out of the way... Now to get some posters made from some of my own pictures.
Pam Z's daughter is one of the graphic folks. You have watched Bethany grow up on the web. I suspect she will be able to help you make really custom shades with decals and translucent paper and all the high-tech things that are out there. My cheap shades are twenty years old so experimenting with them wasn't much of a risk. I am happy with the results.
