A majority of us can’t find anything uglier or messier than blinds that hang
crooked. If your blinds are hung crooked, then the strings won’t properly act as
pulleys. The only time you should use the old fashioned plastic Venetian blinds
is if you are going for more of a retro look.
If you are just trying to make a truly unique fashion statement, then you
should consider hand painting your Venetian blinds. You can
choose to show off your individuality and your craftier side by painting the
blind to show an image once it is closed. If you are going for the retro look,
it may be better to consider using the anodized aluminum or painted silver
blinds. These types of blinds tend to collect less dirt and dust and will help
complete the look better with your retro room. Most manufacturers are now
creating Venetian blinds in different colors and textures. They do this by
painting, coating, or even anodizing the slats. They have neon colors, metallic
bronze, silver, and even gold to choose from now. The boring blinds of the 90s can be found as institutional window treatments.
In the past, when decorating an office, people would have chosen white or black
blinds to go with the wood decor. Now, you can choose from shades of olive,
burgundy, or even brown. If your office has more of a sleeker look, you can even
choose a Venetian blind in cherry red or celadon color. Even though Venetian
blinds can be considered
outdated, they can easily be jazzed up with drapes or sheers. If you are
re-decorating a room that it may be hard to find blinds for, such as a boxed
shape window or a small window, you may be able to choose the older style mini
blinds in various vibrant colors.
Fine Art Auction
The art world is changing from the traditional swish
event, complete with fine wine, cheese and fashionable clothing - to one of
sitting behind the computer screen, credit card in hand. After browsing online
catalogues, art lovers can get a good idea of what's available in the
up-to-date marketplace, and then make the best purchase later at a fine
art
auction. The auction works in a simple manner. You can preview the art
available before the auction and tag anything you may want to see come up for
sale. Those pieces are called “requests” and will be put along with those other
items the auctioneer needs to “push-to-sell.”In spite of the credit crisis, most customers who go to a
fine art auction, aren't affected by the middle class press or imploding
housing market, as 6,000 to 7,000 eager bidders appeared at many of the fine
art auctions this year.
