I was just watching Liar Liar and think we may be due for a good blinds revival. There's so much warmth and texture here, and I've started to see more folks using these in their projects. Not only is the contrasting color so nice in the window, but it also adds some really interesting shadows and lines. This can read as traditional distinguished or more retro moody office. It's a great way to add some character to a space. Would you do this?
