For a long time I knew I wanted matchstick bamboo blinds on my the one window in my little studio. After much searching I finally found them so yesterday I measured and went and got some and my husband put them up for me. I think I kinda knew but then I found out for sure that they didn't give me the privacy I wanted. So I ended up putting up a pretty piece of vintage fabric with rings so it could be slid over in the evenings. Well, at least the blinds will help cut down some of the brightness in the summer, so all is not lost. God bless you, Diane
