Repurposed Blinds:

We had wooden bifold slatted doors, but they kept falling down so we took them out. We wanted the laundry room hidden and out of sight and we remembered that we had taken these shades down from the sliding doors we recently had replaced with French doors. 

Homesteading in the mountains of Colorado you have to be self-reliant and learn how to repurpose. It is a hard habit to replace and since we had not thrown the blinds away, so we put them across the laundry room opening. I think, they look nice and better than just having the laundry room open.
