Readers: Help with a decor problem; pick out a home for a lifetime

Readers recently shared a conundrum and thoughts on finding the perfect home:
First, the conundrum:
Bobbi Hardcastle's  quandary is not uncommon. When the Hardcastles built their home in Lake Oswego in 1987, they included large windows in the family room for a great view, she wrote, of her "beautiful large" wooded backyard and deck. Now she'd like to add some window treatments but doesn't want to hinder the view of her yard. The five windows are 78 inches by 38 inches and bring plenty of natural light into the room, but not too much direct light as they face northeast. Hardcastle says she loves texture and color and is ready for suggestions.

Here are thoughts on picking out the perfect home.

We bought our last (hopefully) home on the premise it would be "Senior Proof." What we looked for and attained for our senior years:

1. House must be one level.

2. All entrance doors wide enough for a wheelchair.

3. Entrances to the outside low enough for a ramp if needed.

3. Proximity to a grocery store, church and freeway.

4. No hardwood floors! Hardwood floors are bone breakers.

5. A friendly neighbor to assist, if necessary.

6. Kitchen stove low enough to reach over to second pot easily.

7. A fire extinguisher just under the stove.

8. A walk-in shower with a stool. No common bathtub.

9. Exceptional lighting in the bathroom and kitchen.

10. A ladder is a no-no.

So far, we are retired and able to function without any accidents.

Reviews:Beautiful Windows We had several window companies come out to our house to give us bids. Although all the companies seemed to promise the same level of service and product quality, All Seasons prices blew the competition out of the water. They installed 13 windows for us in about 3 weeks after signing the contract and we couldn’t be happier with their service and the quality of their product. The windows transformed the look and overall comfort of our entire home. I would recommend All Seasons to anyone.

Reviews:Not a good choice for window treatments We chose Bolliger to purchase the window treatments for our NW condo. We had a bit of design challenge because some of the windows had a slant. Wendy did not know how to deal with that. Instead, she simply insisted on selling us the most”Knowledgeable, professional and cost … Very happy with the service and the products themselves from Bolliger. We just moved into our newly remodeled home and were in desperate need of window coverings.
