Ruthy, who writes at Discovery Street, has been lovingly restoring the “straight-out-of-mad-men” mid century home with shiplap walls, angular accents and an amazing wall of windows. Ruthy covered her windows with Motorized Blinds.com Signature Solar Shades in Pale Grey. The sleek shades blend perfectly with the home’s modern style, plus they block heat while allowing Ruthy to keep the light she loves. With a toddler and newborn at home, Ruthy knew she need something that was safer for kids. She added a motorized lift which eliminates all hazardous cords, and makes the shades a snap to raise and lower.
