Prying Eyes: Heavy curtains would look wrong in this room, which is light and bright. The windows are large so lots of fabric is needed to make curtains big enough to pull across them. They do, however, look out onto the private garden, so there's no need to choose a material that will keep out prying eyes. These fine curtains are ideal, as they keep the room looking light, provide just enough privacy and add a soft, pretty pattern to this mostly white scheme.
The eyes of a spider are usually near the front or anterior end of the head, but some are directly on top. They are single facets, hence are called simple eyes. They may number two, four, six, or eight; eight is the usual number. However, the cave spiders lack eyes entirely. Regardless of the number, the eyes are always placed in a definite arrangement. Often some pairs are much larger than others.
YOUR CHOICE of boundary material will greatly affect the overall appearance of your backyard. Although many fences, walls and hedges are used as screens, they should not always turn the eye inward; any vistas beyond the garden should be framed with well-sited gaps in the boundary.
Walls serve many purposes in the garden: they can provide an impenetrable barrier around the outside of it to stop prying eyes and deter trespassers. Inside the plot, low walls can be used to outline particular areas, such as flower beds and patios, or taller walls can be built to create a safe enclosure for small children, conceal one part from another, or create a "secret" walled garden. Compared to walls, fences are quicker and simpler to construct. But it is well worth taking some time to work out not only what you want yours to look like, but also what you want it to do. Fencing, entrances and gates should always be incorporated into the overall design of your home and garden, whether marking a boundary, partitioning, screening or simply providing a decorative feature.
