My room faces East and the sun is blinding in the morning and the room looks bad when I tried curtains. I have white vinyl blinds up and the light is soo bright , would metal/aluminum blinds in white make a difference? I dont want to call a blind company as they will not give info without getting you name # etc then bugging me constantly to use their service. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

And if so, with what kind of paint.

I bought some hortizontal mini blinds for the office. They are “Alabaster” color. They were cheap, but they don’t quite match with walls, which are a light green.

I’m thinking a couple of cans of Krylon will do the trick.

Wondering if anyone has every done this before.
Hey, smart aleck, they were cheap because they were on the clearance rack at Big Lots. I’m not about to drop the big bucks on blinking blinds that will just get ruined.

And thank you, Paris. I can always count on you for something sensible.
