THE FUSE

I grew up in a wooded area of Long Island, where glaring sunlight was never an issue and privacy was a given. Curtains were mostly decorative and sheer. After I moved cross-country to urban San Diego, I realized that the sheer curtains I had grown up with would not cut it. I needed something that would provide privacy as well as offer protection from solar heat, which notably had more of an impact on my home’s interior temperature in this new locale.
