When you start to realize that spring is just around the corner, for some reason it seems to be the time you start looking around the house and realizing that the house needs to be spiffed up just a little. The outside is getting ready to burst with beauty and your home looks like old man winter has whooped its rear end. I guess it comes from having a mother that always had to change something in the house before spring made our house look ‘tired’ as she would put it. She usually went out and bought new artificial flowers but that’s not my thing.
I think my house needs some new window blinds. You know how old and dingy they get after a couple of years and they’re an inexpensive way to really add a new ‘touch’ to the same old room. No need to spend a fortune either if you know the right place to shop for them. I even like window shades for some of my rooms like the bathroom for some odd reason. I don’t know why I want shades in there but maybe it’s because they seem to me like you have more privacy with them but that’s my opinion about it anyway. No one wants anyone to be able to see into their bathroom, now do they?
There are all sorts of window coverings available now from blinds, shades and those pleated shades which I really like. The wide array of colors are just about guaranteed to add that special touch to an otherwise ordinary room. You can color coordinate your blinds or shades to match your couch, bed covering, curtains or what ever you are wanting to accentuate. Luckily as a man, I had a mother that had a good eye for decorating and I guess I got a touch of that from her. Or at least, I like to think that’s where it comes from.
