The little things

 
 Sometimes it is the little things that make the biggest difference...

 
Time to take down this old, broken, dirty blind...


and walah!  How beautiful is this old door!  Why would you cover it?


For under $10 we bought a sheer curtain panel and rods to hang it up.  Not a bad price to completely change the look of our door.  I think typically the curtains hang on the inside of the door, but I decided I didn't want to cover up all the glass so hung them between the screen door on the outside...might have to wash them more often, but I am happy with the look!
 
 
UPDATE: My lack of blogging does not mean we haven't been busy.  I bought fairly low cost curtains (thank you Walmart) for the living room and kitchen (and made curtains for above the sink), we hung and reused the Hunter Douglas blinds my parents had on their old bay window and placed them in our bedroom, did some thrifting and found a "close enough" match on the blind that was missing upstairs for $3.00 vs. the $80 we were getting ready to spend. 
 
Window treatments are expensive!  With some scavenging and spending time to look for good deals what could have cost us easily over $200 plus, we did for under $100.  Yay for saving money.
