shopping for blinds

Now that we have rolled out the carpet, it’s time to think about blinds. Me being me, of course I want to consider the economic version from Ikea.

But just in case, I also went for a consultation for a custom solution and was very impressed by the lady at Tai Pan Blinds (3833 Midland Ave). I asked her whether I can get two layers: one light blocker and one translucent. Her response: before I tell you what you should get, you need to tell me why you want the blinds. I’m so used to people trying to sell me stuff that I don’t need that her approach of wanting to know what I actually need was shocking and awesome.
