I had wanted to move out of my little guest house for some time.  It was so very little, with just two windows.  Two windows?  That’s just not right.  I am a painter, and along with having basically no room to move around my little house as the walls were lined with stacks of canvases, there was not enough light coming in at all.  So when I had finally gotten into a gallery, and began to make a much more substantial living on my art, I decided it was time to look for a new space.  I was hoping to find an old warehouse downtown, with high ceilings, lots of wide open space, and you guessed it—loads of windows.  When I found the perfect one it was time to move in and make it a home/studio.

The walls are bare brick, perfect.  The floor is cement, perfect.  And the windows and the wide openness has allowed me to breathe for the first time in my life.  Being downtown however, I did need to find a way to give myself a little more privacy, and at Next Day Blinds, reviews are rare as the customer service is impeccable.  I found the perfect window shades.  The salespeople knew what I was looking for, privacy but with the ability to let in the light as I needed it, and their suggestions helped a great deal.  They even helped with shades for the skylights.

Next was my bathroom.  I know that the cloth shades were most likely not going to work for a room that is often hot and humid, and the salesperson suggested a number of options as far as blind are concerned.  He told me that the vinyl ones would be easier to clean, but I choose some wooden blinds. The wood had been treated and as long as I kept up with them, the humidity would not have much of an effect on them.  Now I finally have the space to paint, and the vibe to create is just overwhelming.  My new home is perhaps not the kind of home many people would find appealing, but for me, it is bare and open, with a bit of style provided by the window coverings at Next Day Blinds.  And now, time to paint!
