Awnings were more than a fashion statement in the years before affordable air conditioning. America’s asphalt-paved towns and cities could reach air temperatures above 100 degrees F. Pavement could exceed 160. Shade offered a welcome respite from the sweltering heat. Today, awnings are making a comeback in Southern California homes....
A living room with a large sliding glass door.
Sliding glass doors often get the vanilla treatment. Nothing unusual, nothing to entice the eye. Just plain old off-white vinyl vertical blinds. The biggest window in the house is also the dullest.
