Today we spent putting up window treatments (see how design savy we are) on the four front windows. This is not nearly as easy as it sounds. Dave kept asking for simple panels hung on rings on a wrought iron rod. That sounded simple enough, yet it was not to be. After much research, looking and touching stuff, perusing magazines and books, visiting stores, we stomped our feet and got close to what he wanted. First let us say that there are no perfect solutions to our question.....how can you provide privacy yet not cover up the beautiful window?
The Ladies found ready made panels at Bed, Bath, & Beyond (what a terrific store, they have everything...almost) in exactly the right colors. Yvonne, Dave, & Edie ironed (we set up two boards and had ironing in stereo...ask someone over 50 what that is) the panels first. We even had Matt involved in this (he had the power tools and levels in every length) so it was a big production. Even with all the help and expertise, it still took at least 30 minutes per room.
But it looks FANTASTIC!
