Alternate Realities. This fits in well with August's "Escapes" theme. Houston-based designer Melissa Borrell's Fantasy Shades allow the owner a silhouetted glimpse of New York, San Francisco or the Umbrella trees of Rome...

As part of an installation at the Mattress Factory years ago, a group called the Chicago Collaboration made this supercool set of window blinds:

picture is kind of small but you get the idea

The artists took photographs of the scenes outside the windows on a beautiful day and printed it on semi-transparent film and made blinds.....that way even on an gloomy Pittsburgh winter day, it is always beautiful when you look out the window.
