I know it looks stark now, but it's gonna look good in a few weeks. But more importantly, it's warm and cozy in this little nook.
Love these honeycomb blinds! We're warming up, folks! Right now it's a blazing 27 degrees on the temp gauge.
A few weeks ago I saw where Penney's was having a 70% off of all their custom ordered blinds. I researched and found that these blinds with the double honeycomb were the best for insulating windows. We had often felt cold sitting in the eating area in the most extreme cold of Indiana winters. So in addition to the function I also splurged and ordered the blinds without the cords. With 4 grandchildren already here and 2 more on the way, I didn't want to deal with those dangerous cords hanging around.
They arrived in just 2 weeks and Deke installed them that night. Only took about 50 minutes to hang all 8 (one is not visible in the picture). We really appreciate the warm and cozy dining but sure miss the view when they're down. On sunny days I raise them so the sun can cascade in.
When I get my get my gitty-up in gear, I'll start on the valance. I've only had the material for 2 years; you'd think I could have done something before now. Well, I'll do another post when I get it done and up.
So when the hawk is out and it's colder than a witch's mammary gland, this little family will be warm and cozy eating cornbread and beans and playing euchre. Can it get any better than that!

Lovely!!! I want to be there with you all!
They look great. I love that they allow light in still. Look forward to seeing the valances when you get them up.
Hey, I like them. They may be like Jeannie's. "O"
