Once you have decided that it’s time to redecorate, you can often be just itching to get started.  But hold on a minute; how much thought have you actually given to your new colour scheme?  You may have earmarked a gorgeous shade of paint, but will it go with the rest of the room?  If not, then it may end up costing you a small fortune to replace your carpet, furniture, ornaments and curtains!

  At one time, curtains were the only real option when it came to windows.  If you wanted anything different, then it was considered as being quite ‘specialised’ and it would often be fairly difficult to find what you were after.

  Well, thankfully those days are now gone!  In fact, the fitting of choice for most of today’s windows is roller blinds.  And there are a few very good reasons why…

  In the fickle world of home furnishings, fashions will come and go on a frustratingly regular basis.  For example, just about every wallpaper pattern that you see at the moment will be emblazoned with large, garish 1960s style flowers!  But this will only last for a year or so at the most.  In a way, it is quite a predictable business inasmuch as everything goes full circle.  Sooner or later the designs from five years ago will once again be the hottest look to have!

  Just what is it with moths?  If they love the light so much, then why do they sleep through the daytime???  DOH!!  At night, they all go nuts flying into to anything that’s bright.  They bash themselves stupid against windows, fly kamikaze-style into car headlights and set themselves on fire around candles.  Just how dumb can you be?

  Have you ever noticed the way that people do really dumb things in creepy movies?  It is so tedious and predictable… but we still love to watch them, don’t we?
