That can&#8217;t happen until we finish the living room\/ dining room (this weekend I hope) of course.  I might even hold off until we&#8217;ve finished renovating the basement as well. I think getting more space in this house that we can use is more important than having the kitchen of my dreams.  However, the kitchen is on the list of reno&#8217;s that we plan to do.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to give the kitchen a Mediterranean feel.  It&#8217;s fairly plain right now, so it wouldn&#8217;t matter if I picked blinds that would suit the future kitchen because I&#8217;m sure they would fit in just fine with the current design and colors of our present kitchen.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>I&#8217;ve always liked bamboo and wooden blinds as opposed to metallic, fabric or plastic blinds.
