Here's where we went with window treatments. For the living room area (deck) we aren't putting anything on the windows. Pella has very nice blinds that are inside of the glass (no dust!) & we close them when it's either too bright or we want privacy (mostly to keep the glare off of the tv when my husband is watching football). When the blinds are open it's like a clear wall. GREAT. In our bedroom (upstairs) I put sheers in & drapes that are in silvery grey, black stripes & white. I bought new bedding & have 6 different shades of grey that I'm going to try out on the walls (I want to see it with light coming in). Our bedroom furniture is very heavy mahogany & it's absolutely a man's room, but I like the tucked in feeling of the dark colors. Stay tuned.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160724566385774288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884281082536984922.post-38366058553562023612012-11-22T08:33:17.623-05:002012-11-22T08:33:17.623-05:00A lovely view like this must be enjoyed, and one w...A lovely view like this must be enjoyed, and one way to do that is by having a large window in your house. Having windows around opens up your house to the outside environment. Installing new windows is a good investment, and look at how it added appeal to the overall look of your house.

It might be because of the facade or the house's structure. The lush green environment also adds to its tranquility. Overall, your house seems simple but elegant. It must be cool living in there. =)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.drytechroofingcompany.com/residential-roofing/" rel="nofollow">Lue Madson</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141184440965711362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884281082536984922.post-81219697344110204062012-10-19T17:27:32.818-04:002012-10-19T17:27:32.818-04:00I was thinking about your privacy too, Kim. Glad I...I was thinking about your privacy too, Kim. Glad I saw the comments. I agree with Sierra. Placing the sheers is definitely a good move! While you’re at it, I think you’ll find it worthwhile playing with the lighting around the living room. Different drapes let different amounts of light to pass through, which can alter the atmosphere in that area. Can’t wait for your updates!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ahtwindows.com/products-services/replacement-windows-madison-fox-cities-wi/" rel="nofollow">Nancy Ferdinand</a>Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739944159664116670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884281082536984922.post-27728396503263553972012-10-17T14:52:34.159-04:002012-10-17T14:52:34.159-04:00The new windows definitely opened up your house!

I’m happy that you now have a nice view of the lake, which gives a new spin to the mood of the house. Hope you’re enjoying the new windows!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.windowtreatmentsphiladelphia.com/SolarShadesPhiladelphia.php" rel="nofollow">Roxie Tenner</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204384486741890442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884281082536984922.post-55177243334064792292012-10-08T14:23:37.212-04:002012-10-08T14:23:37.212-04:00Good idea installing sheers with drapes!

But before installing them, I measured the width of my window frame so I know what size rod to get. Then, I measured the height from the floor to the top window for the length of the sheers. They have the perfect color and material for my wallpaper as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mcroofing.com/locations/athens/" rel="nofollow">Sierra Nordgren</a>Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125528971237435258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884281082536984922.post-8942990948954351002012-09-17T19:54:22.013-04:002012-09-17T19:54:22.013-04:00Hi Zeffy,

We purchased sheers yesterday with drapes for at night. I'm changing from a green/rose chintz wallpaper to pale grey painted walls to coordinate with grey/black/silver striped drapes with white sheers. Our bedroom furniture is heavy mahogany so I'm hoping that it works. Stay tuned for a picture sometime in the next 3 years ~ Jealous re: your swims in the sea.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160724566385774288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884281082536984922.post-43685776618680299022012-09-16T08:55:13.268-04:002012-09-16T08:55:13.268-04:00Hi Kim...love your new windows...if your view is s...Hi Kim...love your new windows...if your view is so stunning and the house private...keep windows open...maybe only use heavy drapes for the winter to keep warmth in at night...do you have double glazing in the USA??<br />Thanks for the receipe...will definately try it...I am still on the island, it's cooled down a little I had 2 swims in the sea today....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404261778729287134noreply@blogger.com
