Windows: Before and After

It was bittersweet when they started to build the house next to us a few weeks ago. Sweet because we love new neighbors and bitter because now we live in a cave. If I get any sort of natural light in my day I'm sure its because it is somehow reflecting off the giant two story roof next to use. Anyhow... this is not the point.

The roman shades had to come down. Not only because I hate them and I'm changing my colors; but they also block too much light. I also needed to find a cheap window treatment because that was one place I definitely didn't want to spend a lot of money. The pelmet box was a cheap and easy solution and I like how it turned out.

The before...

And after...
