A Tale of Windows

 I've been washing Linderhof's windows

Not an easy chore

For there are storm windows

and the inside of the inside windows

And the outside of the inside windows

(which are almost impossible to get to part of them from the inside --

but alas, some are on the second floor and I don't do ladders!)

But those windows -- the inside ones are old glass

Almost 100 year old glass.

And I treasure that!

When we were in England one of the things I adored about our

cottages that we rented were the curtains at the windows

Nice curtains and clean windows.

In 2010, the master bedroom at Linderhof

Had these rose print curtains

I like curtains but I felt that there was perhaps too much pattern

So I decided

That I needed blinds

And it was a much cleaner look

But a colder one

And besides, I loved the British look of curtains at the windows

beige linen curtains are plain enough that they don't "overwhelm" as the rose print ones did

But yet give that nice "curtain" feel to the windows

As if they are "finished"

Curtains are the jewelry of a window

And yes, I did remove the blinds!

I have window and curtain and the curtains close if I want them to!

Next to the bedroom is what I call my "dressing room"

It's a more important name than the room really deserves

for it isn't really big enough to be a "dressing room"

and in reality it is a closet.

A closet with a full size window

But a closet nonetheless.

My quandary --

The window with the blinds pulled up

This is the only 1946 blind remaining

And with the blind down.

But do I need a set of curtains for this window also?

Or because there is a door that separates it from the bedroom

And it is a "functional" space, does it need a curtain?

I'd appreciate your opinion

To see whether or not I need to order another curtain.

It is Monday and I'm joining Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Met Monday.
