Window Treatments!

IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME, CHRISSY.  I had these TERRIBLE vertical blinds in all of my rooms:





Ew ew ew.

So I wrote a lovely letter to Santa/Sue Gill and asked for some curtains.  Apparently I'm not the big asshole I think I am, because I didn't get coal and I got my curtains! WOOHOO.

I obviously put them up the very next day. DUHH.

I had to go to Hell (Walmart) first to get rods and liners.  All together the additional supplies were only about $50... not bad! I also invested in an electric screwdriver.  SO CLUTCH.

So here's my re-vamped living room:





And my bedroom:




And my second bedroom:




Things I learned:

1. Curtains are expensive.  Ask Santa for them.
2. Electric screwdrivers are awesome.
3. Electric screwdrivers are not drills :-(
4. Sometimes you need to use a nail to start a hole (see #3)
5. Curtain liners make all the difference in the world!

  1. I used to have vertical blinds in my room before and I found it very awkward to look at because it just didn’t match the interior design of the room. So I made a roman shade that will nicely fit to the room. You can also try it as an alternative to your curtains if you want to change them. +Rene Veeravalli
