Compromise

No one likes to - compromise. No one. We want what we want and we want it now! At the window it is all about compromise. Windows and doors occupy a significant metaphorical space in our heads. They are the point at which exterior and interior lives meet. 
Sometimes our desire is for shutting things out, other times it is for inviting the world to participate in our lives as we live them, sometimes a window covering will allow both. But that is rare. 
Just about as rare as getting two partners to agree on the same window covering. It happens, but only after considerable comment and sometimes one or the other caves...it doesn't seem to matter if it's two men, two women or a man and a woman. Compromise is necessary.
