Net Curtains

brown eyed, you'd be able to knock out part of the wall to fit in windows if you wanted to later on I'm sure:)

I know I have that option but I like having the front sitting room as its handy. Also during the day I just leave the kitchen door open and the kitchen window lights up the kitchen & sitting room & the kitchen is v big so its like one big room & at night time then its just cosy when you close the door. The sitting room also has a mirror thats in an alcove in the wall which gives the effect of a window. The house is around 60+ years old and its crazy the way they made houses then. As far as I know my current bathroom was the kitchen as its very big & the current kitchen is an extension. Sorry for going off topic.

My house has a giant bay window in the front room and my front garden is only about 2ft wide. There is no way on earth I'd be wondering around without something to add privacy. Luckily the house was done up by the owners before our vendors who were two gay men with great taste, so I have three voile panels that stretch across the windows from the bottom to the bar where it opens.

The front bedroom which has 4 windows does have nets, and as soon as I get round to doing it up I'm going to make panels for those windows as well. But the room has been half painted for the last 6 weeks so the curtains aren't a priority.

Eventually I plan to get the horrible uPvc windows removed and have double glazed sashes put in. When I do that I'm going to make transparent roller blinds that work from the bottom up. So the will go from the bottom to the sash and leave the top panel clear.

Say what you like about net curtains, but the look a damn site better than uPvc windows and they are only a tiny fraction of the cost to put in or replace.

Today I will proudly walk to the drapers and collect my lovely plain white nets with lead weights (swanky!!!), that I have been anxiously waiting for. The call came today that the nets are finally made!!! Hurrah for nets!!! Down with blinds!!!

My mother brought me up to hate net curtains with a firey passion, god bless that woman, she hates them sooo much. I can understand them in houses with windows on the footpath but that's all. In daylight passers by can't see into my house and when it's dark and we turn the lights on inside we just close the curtains. It's really not that difficult!

They scream old biddy that put them up in some long-forgotten decade and hasn't redecorated since tbh. I really hate when you find dead flies behind them. Urgh!

I was indifferent towards them until a stayed in a mobile home with a huge front window and no net curtains that faced many other mobiles, everyone who walked by had a right gawk at us! it was quite embarrassing!
