ANNOUNCEMENT! We are now officially the owners of blinds! It has been nearly 7 years since we bought this home, and we have most tackily hung blankets in our windows for that time. I finally talked my dear husband into the idea of looking a little less white trash, and bought some blinds. They look GREAT! We ordered them online from Blinds.com (great prices, by the way), waited a few days, they came in the mail, and we had them up and installed Saturday morning. Here are a few shots of the befores and afters for your viewing pleasure....

In the spirit of improving the outside image of our home, I also restained our front porch swing. It was looking pretty rundown and pathetic, and now it is looking nice and nearly new again. I love sitting on a porch swing. I have always had a swing, in the deepest earliest memories I remember. It just doesn't feel like my home without one.
So feel free to drive by, or look again at the pictures if you are not within driving distance, and see my beautiful new blinds and porch swing. I am pretty proud... =)
*Next projects: The grass and bushes, and get some flowers planted .... it never ends.

Hooray for home improvements! We've got a constant list of our own. I loved your porch swing growing up. We don't have a very big porch here, but we need at least something to sit on out there; this is the year!!
we have blankets in tons of widows too! We're working on the backyard this summer, love the blinds!
Hi Valerie -
Your home is looking great! I'd love to get in touch with you, but I don't see an email address for you on your blog. Would you send it my way or send me an email so we can chat?
Best regards,
