FAQ
Why don t Amish have curtains in their windows?
Why do Amish have 2 front doors?
Why do the Amish paint their doors blue?
Do the Amish take pictures of themselves?
While the Amish do not take pictures of themselves, they do use mirrors. The use of a mirror is allowed because unlike a picture, it is not a graven image. Women use mirrors to do their hair and men use mirrors to shave. If you take our guided farmhouse tour, you’ll spot a few mirrors in the house.
Is the Amish home a little fancy?
Last week’s look inside an Amish home drew quite a few comments, here on the website and on our Facebook page. Some of you felt the home was beautiful. One commenter “love [d] the simplicity.” Others felt the home looked “a little fancy for Amish”.
Can you put curtains on one side of a window?
Side drapes or curtains on one side of a window are a great way to add some flair to your space. You can use only side drapes on different types of windows as well as in other spaces. You can even hang curtains from the ceiling! If you have single-hung windows, then you need only one curtain per window.
Which Amish community has a dimmer light?
Amish in this category include the Swartzentruber Amish or the community at New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. These produce a dimmer glow than the above, but also less heat, which can be a plus or minus depending on the season of the year. But sometimes, you might see regular electric light switches on the walls of an Amish home.
