I had a designer come to the house to discuss replacing our 2 story high window shades with electric smart shades. He brought fabric samples. He wanted us to try greige (gray/beige) with our 15 year old original beige walls. I said, maybe not.
I liked the guy but he wanted us to electrify the lower shades. You know, the ones with a cord that I could walk up to and open? And I showed him how hard it was.
