Getting there

Judy my friend....you have been really busy! When you're done...how about coming here and doing my spring cleaning?????...lol I just know it's all so beautiful and when you have everything where you want them....the pictures for us will be a real treat.

Just reading your post has made me want to start cleaning now. I'm not real good at window treatments, but I bet you can find some good ideas complete with pictures online. I have a lot of big windows so in the bedroom I have just valances, but with shades. I love having a lot of light coming through....helps with the seasonal depression. Today the sun is shining brightly through my windows....beautiful!

I am impressed!!
Been in my house for the last 9 years and still don't have everything done!!

Only suggestion I can give you for window treatments is JC Penny Home Store. Wonderful selections and usually have great sales.

Sounds like you are really getting it together!!! Won't be long and you will feel right at home!!

I'm no good at window treatments. This is one area that I'm definitely lacking in. Most of our windows have plantation shutters on them. Window treatments are hard!!

Forgot all about that Shada!!! I have always bought my curtains/drapes at JC Penney. Whenever I needed a window treatment I would go buy one of their catalogs. I did get my kitchen curtains at Wal Mart, the rest from Penney's.

Judy, you have been busy. I know window treatments are expensive. I got a wooden blind from Home Depot, it was too long and they will not cut the length off, just the width, tried it and it is a nightmare threading and tying off the strings. It just has to stay down all of the time.

Hi Judy....Ooooo decorating....my kind of thread!!! I think you and I are kind of in the same situation...although your place looks brand new! We just moved into our home in October. It is fairly new...only 15 years old.....We have been talking window treatments lately also! Our main room kitchen/living room has cathedral ceilings, is pretty open, well lit but it came with (what the realtor said were pretty expensive window treatments)--they are wooden blinds, very thin, blond colored wood....they are OK for now..but a little bleh....plain....but my husband is handy and I am somewhat crafty so we're thinking of making fabric covered cornices (for color) and then using sheers (for more light). I think it might do the trick!

JC Penny's does have some nice draperies also, but your're right it can get costly!! If you can sew at all, it can save you some $$!
