I knew it!

For quite some time I've been contemplating whether or not get window coverings for our downstairs living areas. The back of the house faces east so while we don't get the warm afternoon light, we do get hit in the morning. In my past life before kids, the morning light didn't bother me. After all, I didn't get my lazy butt out of bed til about 8am every morning. These days, I'm often up by 6am and that morning light will burn your retinas if you're standing in the wrong spot and will blind you for a few seconds if you're facing the refrigerator at the moment the sun shines in on the south side of the house. Something has to be done. I have had these curtains since we lived in our last house and they've been hanging on temporary tension rods in the playroom since we moved in. I decided to move them into the kitchen and I really REALLY like the way it looks! They are totally wrong for the window but something is better than nothing right? And now I'm inspired to get something that works a little better.
