The other day I showed unusual plastic bathroom window shades original to Todd’s 1960 house. Pretty quick, Anne popped up and provided this photo of the full-length plastic shades covering her patio door. Complete with avocado trim including on the self-valance. I LOVE THIS. It also looks to be in terrific shape. I bet they made things better (or with materials and/or processes not allowed today) back in the day. But, we’ve heard that before. Stuff was Made. To. Last. TIP: At estate sales, look at the window treatments; I have been known to buy original window treatments right off the window — have to take them down and everything. The estate sale sellers kind of don’t even notice them and/or think they are too *dated* for anyone to want. Thanks, Anne — oh, and lovely lovely room!
