Great also for venetian blinds, they have such a large selection and lots more for choice, to really say something about your property. The curtain is just what I needed for the French doors onto the balcony. The staff had lots of suggestions and can show a wide range of products, which is exactly what you need when choosing interior decor for you windows.

Don't tell anyone where you're going though. It'll ruin the surprise. Anyway, in one of these beggar shacks where I once lived, my window faced the sunrise. And that's lovely if you're the kind of person who adores the sunshine and rises with the dawn to go frolic in the sun with birds tweeting about your shoulders like you were the illegitimate lovechild of Dr. Doolittle and a Disney princess. But for someone who works in a bar, and so gets to bed at about 15 minutes before dawn, that's kind of a kicker. Especially when the hovel you've wound up renting has windows that are thinner than some molecules I've met. That's where Apollo Blinds came flying in, hands atop its hips like some kind of domestic superhero. Student-affordable, thick curtains were bought and relished and are now, three houses later, still with me. Sure, they may not match the decor, but they served me well and I don't think I have it in me to ever bin them.

I don't know where the traders get their stock from, but some of them must have an incredible address book! A lot of them seemingly have endless access to the most incredibly desirable objects. Their lives must be heavenly! I considered becoming a trader myself a few years back, but decided that it would be an overtly dangerous career choice. I'd be great at scouting out my stock, and have fairly well tuned haggling skills. So far, so good! But, the problems would arise when it came to selling any of it on. I know I'd want to keep everything! Those confounded attachment issues! They also hold regular auctions at the King's Road site. I've not been to one, but I hear that they are as much fun as the flea markets, and just as well stocked with eminently buyable stuff.
