Flip a coin?

Some rooms have blinds and some have drapes?

That's not the issue, it's the opposite for me. I like that you can gradullay lighten a room with even light with blinds, vs. the annoying strip of light you get with curtains when they're open a crack. I know we can get sheers as well, but that's still too quantized for me. But I can deal.

Do you hate both vertical and horizontal blinds? I'm not a fan of horizontal blinds but like vertical ones (which are also immune to inevitable destruction by cats if ever there is one in the house).

We both hate vertical blinds. I like horizontal/venitian blinds, she does not.

Ah.

Actually, that's the reason I like curtains. GD likes blinds because you can let light in evenly. We'll figure it out. :)

Go for the Lutron™ solution. I'm sure it's affordable.

I hate the clacky noises vertical blinds make when the wind hits it. I also hate the buzzing noises horizontal ones make when the windows are open behind them.

Well, I say don't cave in to the arbitrary social pressure that you have windows. Brick them all in, install natural lighting with dimmer switches.

Or you can get some of those diagonal blinds.

But there's also Alex's dungeon solution...
