Quick Fix

We remodeled our master suite last year...it took a long time, tons of returns, lots of tears, and five shades of paint but finally, I LOVE IT...



everything except these old-fashion aluminum blinds around the bay windows. I had the Blind King come over & give me a free in-home estimate...I was informed that for a limited time with their "special pricing" it would only cost a mere $1,500.00 using their lowest grade materials.



Umm, that would be a NO.


Luckily I happened to have the sole remaining curtain panel from Pier 1 that matched my bedroom set. After months of trying to figure out how to cover 5 large windows with one measly panel.. I gave up...

Fast forward one year....while laying in bed last Tuesday, I couldn't stand looking out my sullen windows one more day, so I grabbed the scissors, Stitch Witch, & iron.



While they are nothing I would have picked out, they do hide the ugly aluminum blinds...a savings of $1,470.00.

I just hope they don't fall apart too soon.
