bamboo blinds

guys, have you ever tried bamboo blinds? I've had bamboo roll up shades for about 1 years and I love them. They last and last and I just take them outside twice a year and dust them and then wipe them off with a damp cloth. what's more important, it makes my house cool and i think it's relatively much more enviromental! i bought them here, but if you are interested in, you can find some near your residences.

  • Are they any good at keeping the sunlight out? My curtains let through too much light so I was thinking of putting up some bamboo blinds inside the window frame.

    the only thing is people can see you walking around when you have your light-on.

    had to point this out to hubby - one night when i came home (he was walking around starkers!!)
