Ew. That was my first reaction to the…well…shall we call them window coverings in the basement. They mostly just covered the window but not completely. Enter the terrible slatted window coverings…with leftover scraps from the ratty couch next to the dumpster?!
So while Eric was away I grabbed my power tools and a new set of curtains and curtain rods and got to work to begin the beautification process of the basement.
I can’t tell you how satisfying it was to pull down that ratty fabric covered curtain rod and ugly slatted blinds. Just taking down the curtain rods made a huge difference.
Then it was time to take down the blinds. Tip: Make sure to draw the blinds together (duh Megan!) so you don’t end up having to dispose of this mess.
I ended up only using one of the anchors to hold up the new brackets, but since I was installing three and the curtains weren’t that heavy I took the chance. A little patch work when we end up painting the walls and it will be like the old blinds were never there!
Now with the curtain rod. Hard part done!
Now the easy and gratifying part. Curtain time!
