Place 2 cushions there or customise 1 long cushion over there n enjoy yr kopi later.... Btw, did anyone here do any blind for your yard? I'm thinking of doing it to have more privacy as my neighbour can see us when we open our service yard door - they can even peep thru when we are having dinner and I hate this! I spoke to Jason and told him I want to do Venetian blind but he suggested to have roller blind instead as Venetian will create noise since it is pretty windy at times. I am just afraid that with the roller blind up it will block the wind....any ideas there beside installing blind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(2) not sure abt the sounds both Venetian and roller blinds create but then ar, backyard area u spend $$ to put Venetian blind...isn't it waste of $$? roller blind is indeed gd enough i feel....it's on ur court though.... hahahhahaha...Chipee, u always make me laugh when you write....hahhaha........so how are you going to do up your Bay windows?

My purpose of putting blind is not to shed the rain but more on privacy purposes. Definitely it is going to be on both side (one facing aircon n the other facing corridor) HB doesnt like roller blind as it will definitely block the wind n our clothes will not dry up. Currently, when we open our yard door it is very windy but the flaw is our neighbour can see us since we are in the middle unit. If we close our yard door then not much wind and it is quite warm lor - Jason also mentioned about bamboo blind - anyway, he will meet me next week when he is more available to discuss further with me. He will also pass me 2 small cushions for my sofa as I got him to do for me to match my living room curtains.

graceakaclouds 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) KSJL - can understand ur hb's dislike on it....cos same for me too...i dun like the idea of the blockage of wind....i also understand abt ur neighbour seeing u...tat time i went to the backyard then saw my neighbour when he open his front door (i'm also in the middle unit), abit weird leh....haiz, i guess only way is to put blinds....depends on which blind u prefer n on top of tat, u have to repeatedly bring the blinds up when u turn in for the nite so tat ur clothes get alot of wind to blow dry....in the morning, wake up n roll down the blinds....faintz.... btw, did u have bay window too? if u have, can PM me hw much Jason charged u for the cushions for the bay window, thks My purpose of putting blind is not to shed the rain but more on privacy purposes.

chipee 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Grace: u're lucky gal .. the white paint is very useful. Good for removing the Alibaba sign. I got it removed by BSC .. so hopefully Mr. Alibaba dun come again KSJL: oops .. hehe my bad I didn't customise cushion for the bay windows. I gotta few from Robinson last time so it's just nice for the bay. Sometimes I stand on the bay window to eat wind ... just hope no birds attack I need to shelter up my yard area cos rain may flood my corner, no choice *sigh* I've yet to brainstorm on tat issue, but the recent storm is really terrible. If you prefer privacy, doing roller blind at the yard will be good. Or, vertical blinds? They are also quite easy & versatile, can be drawn neatly back to the side, or the louvres can be rotated to an angle tat allows the right amount of light into the area & maintain an element of privacy.
