Room with a View

Finally, we’re able to take advantage of the window in the living room! The roller shades are in, and we couldn’t be happier. We opted for three separately controlled shades for each window as opposed to one enormous shade. As a result, we have greater versatility since not all three have to be opened at […]

Bike Ride through the Neighborhood

It was a gorgeous spring day this past Thursday, so I went for a bike ride and brought my camera along to capture some of the first spring blooms. Enjoy!

Our Roller Shades Are In

We’re getting three separate roller shades for the living room, one for each window (both sections of the window). This will give us quite bit of versatility in terms of letting light in, and Daniel is looking forward to motorizing […]

That Darn Cat

With many thanks to Darcy, this is what I came home to today.

Ironically, these are (still) the temporary shades, and I just ordered three reverse roll window shades to cover each […]

Spring Is Here!

Okay, it’s official– spring is here! The daffodils are out, and, of course, I couldn’t resist picking a few for our dining room.All of the blooms and buds are definitely putting a smile to my face, and I’m even more thrilled that all of this good weather will mean we get even more time to […]
