Blind Audacity Blog
A monthly blog called Blind Audacity delivered on the first Sunday of the month about personal stories and milestones from a Window Treatment Installer. Here, I share tips, tricks, and plenty of personal stories from my 20+ years in the window treatment business. From tackling tricky installations to pulling off international projects (and even surviving hurricanes), this blog is where practical advice meets real-life experiences.
Whether you’re a pro in the field or just curious about the world of window coverings, there’s something here for everyone. Let’s dive in and make window treatments a little less daunting—and a lot more interesting!
Yours,
Roger Magalhāes
