Before + after window in the cottage...

I am trying to make some little changes here in my little home and thought I would share one with you. First, I need a little more privacy, so I bought a 72" matchstick blind for $15.00 - I have to be a big bargain hunter these days...I love the look and although its not a 'black-out' blind, it adds some great texture and a little privacy to the room:


Windows before:

Please excuse the air con but I need it!

I just have some sweet little valances on the windows;

I painted this room last year with a warm white from

Sherwin Williams -the walls had been a pale blue -

Window After:

The reason I love these blinds is that they don't require any 

work other than slamming a nail in the wall with a

hammer, which is about all I can do...notice my

kitty Scooter checking the new look out!

I leave them up about halfway all the time and they look great.

Do you love adding texture to a room? Have you tried these matchstick

blinds in your home?

Have a very happy Friday! ;-))
