welcomed

Just two years ago people searching for a new home in TV did NOT have the option to build. There was a large selection of already built homes and they came just the way they were. Some had blinds, some didn't, some had washer and dryer, some didn't, etc.etc.etc. We bought a Camellia withouth blinds and without washer and dryer.

Although MANY here have used the two popular local blind companies, we opted to buy our blinds at JC Penneys and to install them ourselves and we have been satisfied. I think it was a little cheaper but I have not read one bad comment about the local blind businesses.

I personally don't like vertical blinds so we installed traverse rods and draperies at the great room's big slider.
