Answer by Chiara
There are many blinds that close buy pulling down. Blinds that close by pulling up would be rather inconvenient unless the top of your windows were within arm’s reach.

Q&A: How to remove glue from an aluminum frame?
Question by jessica: How to remove glue from an aluminum frame?
The aluminum frame is actually the window frames on my boat. Previous owner had glued some kind of boarded window treatment. I took it all down and it left this sticky, glue like substance that won’t scrape off. I already used adhevise remover, an orange scented small bottle from target and tried scrapping it with a platics scrapper. No luck. Trying acetone now.

If it’s silicone try some WD40 and a putty knife or you could try to remove it with a heat gun and a putty knife.

Ideas, please, to help keep my kitchen from looking too dark?
Question by Sarah M: Ideas, please, to help keep my kitchen from looking too dark?
I’m in the middle of redecorating my kitchen. Appliances are a mixture of black and stainless steel, walls are terra cotta, accent wall is sandy-colored, light oak wood laminate floors, black cabinets, white countertops. Any suggestions for nice, bright accents (rugs, window treatments) to keep it from looking too dark? Please and thank you!

I would suggest a short white sheer valance for your window treatments. As for a color to “pop” in your kitchen, I think green would coordinate with all the other colors. I’m thinking of bright green bottles or vases on your window sill, if possible. Maybe a bowl of limes or granny smith apples. Or a lime green colored jar candle. Just enough to add a splash of color. As for the rugs, I’m thinking they’re going to have to be a shade of white. You seem to have a good sense of style and decorating, so I know you can make this work. Good luck!

Q&A: What is the best window treatment to block most all light from coming in?
Question by User Name: What is the best window treatment to block most all light from coming in?
I’m a night shift worker. I’ve used foil before, and would prefer not to. I don’t want the neighbors wondering why we have foil on the windows. If there is an item I can buy in a store that would do the trick and look nice at the same time, I’d much prefer that. Thanks.
While I do appreciate the creative response to tint the windows :o) this home is a rental, and tint removal would take longer and be more of a hassle than it would probably be worth. thank you anyways though!

It doesn’t have to be thick or expensive, just not let the light in. Get a large piece of cardboard, recycled from a large box or poster board. Put it over the entire window opening and secure with tacks, or if you don’t mind, duct tape, and hang a scarf or wall hanging over it. If it still leaks light, a little tape should seal it up, but be careful about your walls if you rent. You can paint the poster board so it looks nicer, or hang a pretty scarf, put some window decorations or whatever in the window area so your neighbors don’t mind. It all can go up and come down in a matter of minutes, so a change in shift won’t take up alot of time. Sleep tight.
