This image on Apartment Therapy has me swooning for massive kitchen windows:
While our new place has MUCH better light than our old place. I would love to be able to rip out the walls and put in wall to wall windows in our kitchen and living room.
The bedroom on the other hand; well, our new bedroom looks out over a stairwell/courtyard and there is a lovely light that stays on ALL night. After a few nights we got the hint that the plastic shades were not enough to block out the light, so I put up some old yet thick curtains to block out the light. They are all wrong for the bedroom and space, so I am in serious need of some suggestions to block out the light in our bedroom.
Here are the options I have been contemplating so far:
1. Thick silk luxurious curtains:
Yet even on sale I think this option is WAY over budget. Unless, someone has a cheaper idea??
2. Putting up some sort of bamboo curtain or window shade and then placing shear curtains (from Ikea that we already own) over it to create an ethereal, earthy feel.
3. Or a surprise option- a shade that not only blocks out 90% of all light, it's also eco-friendly so it is also suppose to make the windows more energy efficient. And it's affordable.
The blackout roller shade option from Bed, Bath and Beyond:
Ok, so three options so far, that's all I got. I need ideas!! Help.
So are you a white bright window, outdoor person, or more of a black out the room, moving watching type?
