Distraction & Blinds

Great response from a reader, Carmen, who points out the possibility of distracting the eye from the unsightly air conditioner---a technique that's useful for taking attention away from all kinds of design flaws in ones home.

As we move further into summer weather, it's time to start thinking about keeping the heat out. The more you can prevent the heat from getting into the home in the first place, the less you'll need the air conditioner, whether it's nicely disguised or not. There are two major ways to keep your place cool without resorting to the A/C: good blinds on the windows, and fans.

Check out what Kristen Sue found when she went looking for blinds.

We found this bedroom to be particularly cool and inviting. The blind is from Bruce Blinds. You can see the other blinds of his, as chosen by Kristen Sue, at her blog at  http://www.6thstreetdesignschool.blogspot.com/
