Finally...a room with a view!

When Karl and I lived in Salt Lake, the view out our bedroom window was a brick wall. No really, there was a brick wall not two feet outside our window. (We nicknamed our bedroom "the cave" because we never got any natural light in there.)

When we lived in Michigan, the view out our bedroom window was a courtyard in our apartment complex. But our window was at ground level and anyone in the courtyard, or looking out a window across the courtyard, could see right in. So our blinds were closed a lot. Plus, our neighbors liked to hold their arguments out there (instead of in the privacy of their own apartment) so there was sometimes a lot of yelling and cursing outside our window.
