Net Curtains - Please tell me they're not old fashioned!

[RGPargy]

Morning ladies!

We have recently moved into a house (well, July actually) and they have left behind their vertical blinds, which we have been using until we decorate room by room. However I do feel that they dont offer much privacy when open and would really like to stick some nets up - nothing with big flowers on or anything, but more of a modern subtle thing.

Are nets still ok to have or are they only for people over 60?

TIA!

C'mon axe - get real!

I bet you have a small collection of china ornaments too don't you?

Admit it!

ranting housewife are nets noe on your chritmas wish list? say it ain't so!

I have silver metallic blinds in my bathrooms, nets in the front bedrooms and verticals in the back bedrooms - the verticals are to block the very strong sun rather than nosey neighbours

vertical blinds are for offices not houses. yuk. and nets..yukkety yuk.

I'd rather have nets than a bamboo blind.

I just parade round showing off the family jewels every once in a while.

That stops them from looking in.

Seeing the disdain for them does rather make me want some manchita, I told you, I am wilfully perverse!

I'd rather be classed as a student than a pensioner thanks.

yeah - a bamboo blind would look tottaly out of place in my modern bathroom, which is all white and silver

bamboo blinds are always wonky, dusty and cheap looking. the worst are from ikea for something like £2.

what do men know about curtains anyway.

perhaps i don't need to iron them and have been wasting my time doing them in the first place!

Norah - i think the word you were actually looking for was 'rustic' or 'natural'

Yeah - i just hoover mine every month.

Sorted.

I have enough shite to do without adding to it with fancy window dressings.

don't know what mine are, they aren't shiny

Eric

do you have those spherical paper lampshades as well?

Most nets are not as clean as they should be- grubby round the edges mostly.

my nets are alway grimy with bits of fur in them - a bit like my windows.

It's part of the joy of owning a cat

I would prefer not to have nets but think blinds block out more light and take more cleaning.

iota, you should be ashamed of yourself how could you admit to such a thing? I am appalled and disgusted. I guess we'll have to take your word re your un-sluttishness mmam.
