Bedroom Makever Windows.

Since it's about darn time I start showing off the bedroom I want to talk about windows for a bit. See these windows? Look at that pretty yard out there, see it? Yeah that's my yard. My.front.yard.

This would be fine if I weren't 10 feet from my sidewalk and 10 feet away from anyone seeing me get dressed in the morning or drooling on my pillow at night. Ya know, crazy things like that. Especially now that we have the bed infront of the window, I get scary images of "The strangers" at night, have you seen it? No?

Don't.

I didn't invent this idea nor is it something that everyone would like, but for our household it works wonders and I'm forever great full for Katie showing me the way. I knew I wanted the texture of woven shades, I'm so sick and tired of those mini blinds. I need texture in my life, darker colors and something oh, ya know-- not plastic.

Case in point, 16.00 blinds from Home Depot. They fix the texture problem but look at that, they most definitely do not fix my privacy problem. See where I'm goin' with this?

 I left the mini blinds up. Simple as that! The new blinds are hung by L hooks on the top of the trim (you could go higher too, above the trim) where as the mini blinds are in the casing of the trim. I never ever ever ever have to see those wanna-be-white-but now are cream colored mini blinds again. During the day I can have them all up, or just the woven blinds down and still get plenty of light and at night, lower both for maximum privacy. Here's during the day, you can barely tell!

 One with the mini blinds down, one with them up.

Curious about my curtains? Glorious cream ticking fabric from Walmart! It adds a nice masculine touch to the bedroom, and I love that it's neutral and cream. It's absolutely lovely in person, and the best part? No sew. Nope not a bit. I guess you could figure that since I have two kinds of blinds up, I'm that type of girl to just rip up some fabric for curtains.

Yep sure am.

And, I couldn't be happier.
