You can only have white curtains or blinds? Really?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I live in HOA.
It is okay, but since (already established on these boards), that I have decorating deficits WRT decorating, it is probably okay for me.

That's pretty common, because they want a uniform look from the outside. You can always put drapes in front of their ugly-ass vertical blinds.

HOA -- Home Pwners Association?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Most companies that make blinds now make them white on the outside and colored on the inside, because so many places have this rule. My mom got that kind of blinds for all the windows when she got the outside of the house repainted, because she thought it looked better if the windows all looked the same from the outside.

My mother thinks that too. I think that I look at my house mostly from the inside.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Well I plowed through the whole document, and didn't see any mention of window or door stuff. So, will ask to be sure.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well if I would just stick to reading that person's fiction, and ignore them on-line I would not know this.
Yeah, this is why I generally don't seek out knowledge of writers or actors. Too often it detracts from my enjoyment of their work. There are exceptions, though. *cough*Cumberbatch*
The main reason I didn't want to move into an HOA was all the Rules, man. I know it keeps the property values up and it's a Good Thing, but I don't like uniformity in housing. I find it depressing. My sister's house is in an HOA, and they have list of approved colors that you can paint your house, and they *require* everyone to take part in lining their section of the road with lumeires on Christmas Eve, and... blargh.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Look, classmate, when I told you want I was doing, rather than asking your opinion, we didn't have to be doing the same thing. Yeah, that changed later, but don't quite my "exact words" back at me as though the context was irrelevant.
Also, if you state specific objections, I will attempt to address specific objections. I will not necessarily intuit that you object to the idea as a whole. If you want me to intuit that you object to the idea as a whole, the best way to ensure that is to say, "I object to this idea as a whole." Preferably at some point before the deadline. Like, oh, say, when I SENT YOU MY PLAN DRAFT AND ASKED FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
Also, also, suggesting that we do both things is not, in fact, a compromise. I can see how you would think that it would be, but, really, it's just twice as much work (or more).
