We have just ordered some curtains, which I will be taking out with me in March. There will be a (v) large pair to go in front of the large barn door, with replacement curtains to match on the patio door and window in the lounge. The ones for the barn door are really to keep the heat in/cold out when there in the winter - the windows are of course not double glazed, and the whole door set up is a source of lost heat. I suppose it can also be used to keep the place cool in the summer, as thermal linings would just as easily work the other way!
There is a downside, in that when open, the curtains will be blocking a certain amount of light, as the doors go right up to the side wall of the hall. That said, the whole door area is 3m by 3m and lets in so much light, we don't think it will hurt too much.
The visitors coming this year who have been before, will notice loads of improvements: new bathroom, curtains, furniture, table tennis, a pool that won't be leaking.........
