Not gonna lose my mind over a few windows...

Oh how I don't enjoy looking for window treatments...no, take that back.  I enjoy LOOKING at them in the store/online and imagine their beauty in our home but don't like messing with hanging them & let it be said...I don't sew...DO NOT.  No, take that back...I have sewed a button back on, by hand, a few times.  I even bought a sewing machine once...the one for kids so I wouldn't feel overwhelmed and I felt...overwhelmed.

So, what to do in order to stop the sun from shining in my eyes each morning & blinding me before I am ready for it?  Grab some tab tops, nail them up & slap a piece of an old door over the nails (to give it some kind of "look") and you've got a window to be proud of!  I have a passion for old doors & windows...the other side of the door is over our other bedroom window and the other half of the door is a shelf in our living room...does that make sense?!?!

It's called a window "mistreatment", a phrase coined by the wonderous Nester and I could just go on mistreating all day...my windows...not the loved ones as to whom I share a home with...
