If you want the traditional Venetian blinds but are on a budget then you will find that there are discount stores that will offer you quality blinds at a low price. These blinds will be made from aluminum or wood slates. Both wood slates and aluminum blinds are readily available and you can choose the one that suits your needs. You can purchase cheap blinds and then finish them up by adding more expensive accessories.
Our house has gotten cozy so we're doing our best to make the most of things until the economy picks back up. For now, that means three boys in one room - we gave them the master bedroom - and built a wall between the little boys and the teenager. We (I say that loosely) got a lot done yesterday, with more to do tomorrow. It's a project that will continue for awhile as I involve myself in changing the curtains (the boys are complaining about the floral, of all things) and repaint....I won't be bored. :)
These are the original tiles from the 50's, I think. I'd keep them, but there were too many cracks around the toilet that couldn't be fixed.
It looks pretty crappy right now, but after sanding and another repair coat, I'm planning to skim coat it with actual plaster to smooth it out. It would have been MUCH easier to put drywall up. It probably would look better, but we realized the extent of the damage too late.
These shelves were repurposed, having been originally located in D's office (on either side of the old built-in bench).
We are putting a bathroom in the basement. It's been a lot more work than I expected. I'm glad that we hired someone to do it.
A roller blind is basically a type of blind covering that can be rolled up and down. There are several types of roller blinds that utilize a number of different control systems. You will find that these window treatments use the principle of a hinge system to provide for a level of control that allows the blind to be opened and closed as you please.
I cleared and stripped the shelving off of the walls where we're going to frame in our new office. Once it's in we can move out of the room upstairs and convert that over into the nursery.
We replaced the damaged part of the studs and secured the new sections with connecting metal plates.
When the back porch was redone, the contractors had to demolish the wall. They were incompetant and so didn't put the wall back the way it was like they said they would. Additionally, the screwed up the gutters so that instead of the water draining to the left and down the spout, it builds up on the right, overflowing. The water pouring out of the gutter further deteriorates the wall, flows across the porch to find its way to the house's foundation.
This is my next home project.
