I tried to do that, where I went to Craigslist and hover overed listings with images, but no pictures popped up without clicking on the header.

When we criticize granite for being shipped from overseas, its important to distinguish whether or not it gets flown into this country by air or gets shipped by sea. If its the latter, then the carbon footprint is like 1/60 that of shipping something by air.

OP again, and I also need to consider resale since I probably will move in a year or two anyways. Why wait till I move to spend the money to make updates;I might as well enjoy some of those updates now while I'm living there. At the same time, I'd hate to spend money on something and then find out that it was already dated or something and I need to buy new treatments.

Are vertical blinds considered dated at this point? I didn't really see them in the magazines I was looking through, but I'll see other units where I live that have them. And, the rep from 3 Day Blinds assured me that vertical blinds were still 'in' and that I just needed to get 2 inch miniblinds.

OP here, and thank you for your help and suggestions.

I've been cramming Dwell and Coastal Living Magazines, but I'm afraid I just don't have a very high taste level for this type of stuff.

Right now, I'm thinking that the mishmash of different window treatments needs to be addressed plus some of them are already broken anyways. With those vertical lines running up the building, I think the horizontal blinds clash with that and so I'll go with some drapes or something that will repeat those vertical lines.

But, I have a very large sliding door on the other side of this unit which also needs a new window treatment. Right now, the vertical blinds for that are broken so I didn't know if I should fix them or get something different. If I get drapes for the front, then I should probably get long drapes for that sliding glass door in the back, right?
