To all who have knowledge of my almost two year struggle to find something to cover my gigantic bedroom window- I have finally done it!! To all who do not know- this window has been the thorn in our side since we moved in. It was such a pretty feature before we moved, the nice big decorative window that let in so much light. Uggh! As soon as the sun peeked its head over the horizon, our room was flooded with in-the-middle-of-the-afternoon sunlight. You find out how creative you can be with the bed covers when there is that much brightness at 6:30am.
In our quest to find a reasonable solution to this problem, we hit a wall with every idea. There are blinds manufactured for these kind of half-moon windows...if you're willing to cough up $800 for it! We had thought about the wall o'curtain idea before but we seriously thought it wouldn't work because of how the high ceiling comes to a point over the window. Later on, I looked into this particular idea but after it was all said and done, the curtains would have cost a good $300-$400. I became very stubborn about the whole thing and decided that even that was way too much.
And then, just a month ago, I stumbled upon "extra long length" curtains at bedbathandbeyond.com. Bless you, bless you, bless you Bed Bath and Beyond! You have put a smile on mine and Seth's face when we are not forced to wake up at the crack of dawn because of your miraculous curtains and their very reasonable price.
So, to put an end to this saga, I also found a new quilt set (shown in picture) that I really like and soon we will paint the walls a lovely teal blue to go with the dark brown drapes. Our room will finally be finito!
