February 17, 2009 TuesdayI am not a window blinds kind of person probably because of the cheap plastics pieces of garbage I have carried out as trash over the years. If I have any kind of window covering at all it's rollers shades because they are cheap and when they are up the window is completely uncovered. Even the cheapest last for years. I have some I have been using for almost 30 years.
A window is not much good if it's covered. Exceptions are made for hurricanes when the window covering is metal roofing sheets. It's a very industrial look.
This guy has changed my mind about blinds. Spirals By Steve makes them of wood with some beautiful expose wooden gears to look at. Great gears. These are works of art that hang in your window. I will never in my wildest dreams be able to afford something like this but if I were going to have blinds it would have to be these.
It's the gears. I'm fascinated with gears and the workings of things exposed.
There is a you tube demo on the website. And free plans to build your own. Turn up the sound as there are some great gear sounds.
Did I mention that I like the gears?
