Bay Window Curtains And Compromises

We live on a lake and my husband could not understand why I would want to block the view of the lake with bay window curtains. He thought that we would leave this area uncovered so we could enjoy the view. The windows are energy efficient so the cold of winter and heat of summer was not supposed to be a factor. I was concerned that walkers on the path that runs close to our home would be looking into the house. My husband did not think that this was anything to be concerned about. I bought inexpensive bay window curtains for the entry way. These were small valances that complimented the room and could be switched out whenever we got tired of them. After many discussions and living with the bay window in the living room, my husband and I decided to compromise and buy pleated shades for the space and for go the bay window curtains. This was the first of what I am sure will be many compromises made during our remodeling project. I am sure that couples that do not have a strong relationship going into such a project would end up in divorce.
