Window Treatments

For the wiiiindows, on our wall –

sorry, had to.

Even though we have less windows in this house than we did at our old house – dressing up our current windows seems to be a much greater task!

You see, in our old house we were totally satisfied with the majority of our windows being covered with $3 blinds, and a few roman shades here and there.  We made the classic selling mistake (aftermath) of leaving all window treatments with the new buyers, including the curtains we invested in a few rooms.  It really did help sell our house – nothing beats buying a house that already has window treatments, but it left us with starting at scratch in our new home.

Immediately upon moving in we had to make a decision as to what to cover our windows with.  We LOVE roman shades, but we wanted a window treatment that could be all the way down to the window sill, and still be opened or closed without having to be rolled up.

We found our solution at the one and only Home Depot  – the Home Decorators Collection Premium Faux Wood Blind, in white.

The width is 2 1/2 inches and these are easy to clean with a duster or even the correct vacuum attachment! It was a little over $50 a window – we purchased 14 to cover the living room, family room, dining room, all bedrooms + and office.

We love the privacy they provide, and that it gives the entire front of our house a cohesive look from the outside.  Still leaving us with a few windows to find coverings for, but after spending over $700 on blinds – we decided to feel out the spaces more before we dropped more dough.

And then we stumbled across an amazing deal! Which you can snag now too! We found this gorgeous gray Sonoma life curtains from Kohls – and with our Kohls member discount, we ended up getting each panel for around $15 instead of $40! We jumped on it! 10 panels and rods later, we now have curtains in our living room, dining room and family room.  SO glad we purchased these.  Curtains really do take a room from “eh” to something to look at!

You to can snag these very curtains for $19 a panel right now!

Last but definitely not least, I have been craving thick striped navy curtains for our boys rooms for ages.  Once I found the perfect and most affordable pair I gobbled them up.

Hello Wayfair! I loved Wayfair long before I was given the opportunity to be a Wayfair Homemaker.  These Nautica Cabana Stripe Drape Panel  are AMAZING in their rooms! I counted down the days of shipping and put them up immediately in their rooms.  I love not only how they look, but how they feel.  A nice thick cotton and keeps the warmth in and the majority of the sun out (great for bedtime!) Plus, two panels for $60! I’ll take it!

I know, I know, Abby where are the pictures of the rooms?!

They are coming! Tomorrow – today I have to take Brody to another follow-up appointment for his Ulcervative Colitis + that takes up a heck of a lot of time.  Send a prayer our way that all goes well!

 I will be photographing the rooms after I get a chance to clean! In the mean time, if your windows are begging to be dressed I highly recommend checking these out!
