past failures

was just surfing an organizational product online catalog and saw:

http://www.shopgetorganized.com/prodetail~itemNo~25431B.asp

which reminded me of the 'stained glass' window shades idea i had several years ago.

the idea was a pull down window shade with a nice view, or a stained glass window look or a favorite painting.
features:
privacy
dim the light but still let some through
block out an ugly view

never got it off the ground and in retrospect i'm kind of glad i didn't.
it seems like a silly and wasteful idea now.
