Maryland colonial decorated with wood blinds

Many people who tour the town of Kensington, Maryland often comment on its quaint nature. According to the Washington Times, some call it "the town where the train still stops and the people still walk" and one house in particular embodies that spirit, even after being renovated only six years ago.

This beige colonial was built in the mid 40s and boasts a long list of design features that complement the town. Its lavish interior is highlighted by a living room that is dominated by a cavernous fireplace and bathed in recessed lighting. According to the news source, all of the windows have been replaced - with a great deal of them replete with wood blinds.

Those who wish to emulate this charming abode can consider hanging wood blinds to add a natural, timeless feeling to their home. Aside from serving an aesthetic purpose, wood blinds have functional benefits as well. They are a great provider of privacy while not cutting off the outside entirely and are also good insulators from heat and cold.
