About once a year I try and go through our house and replace all of the window blinds. They tend to start looking kind of rough and faded after a while and it really changes the looks of a room when you hang new, clean blinds. This year I have decided to replace all of the plain mini blinds with some nice natural wood blinds. I wont have to replace them for a long time, and I can just go over them with some furniture polish every once in a while to keep them looking nice. They’re a little more expensive than standard blinds, but they look so much nicer.
