Something New

It has been almost 24 years since we moved into our house and for all of those years only one window in the living room has had a covering. That blind broke several years ago, becoming nonadjustable, but since I couldn't decide what to replace it with, it just stayed as it was. I have always loved the look of plantation shutters and this past week we were able to have them installed on every living room window. I really love them and what they do for the room! They have created a cosier atmosphere in there. Oh and I need to mention the total privacy, too. They have insulating properties also, which will help keep the temperature regulated better (it's always been too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer) and the added bonus is a tax rebate! A new rug and a mirror will finally finish the room to be what I've always wanted it to be.
