How That One Ended

Here are a few pictures that show my answer to the dilemma of feeling like we were living in a fish bowl. I asked the readers of Apartment Therapy for their help and ideas, and someone suggested blik wall graphics. Even though I've used them on the walls before, I never even thought of them as window dressing.
It's been too cold for us to venture outside long enough to check the vantage points and visibility.
If this doesn't satisfy, I found a decal that is actually a venetian blind. (Of course, I can't find it now anymore online. Humph.)
