It's been a few months since my last post and I have so much to report on! Things have been quite hectic with school, travel, home improvements and a fabulous new addition to the family, our puppy Teo (more on him soon). Things are still a bit crazy but I'm making a bigger effort to make sure I continue blogging.This time I want to share about our first major home improvement project.
As I may have mentioned before, our lovely home was built in the 70's and although there were many updates completed before our arrival late last year, there were still a few traces of the 70s left, such as our windows and glass doors. Not quite as old but just as bad were the window treatments.
When we first moved in, replacing the windows and blinds were definitely at the top of our list. As you'll see on the images below, they were pretty bad. The blinds were the vertical vinyl panels; as if that wasn't bad enough they were also missing a few panels, creating gaps in between. The glass doors were super outdated, they had metal frames which let all the cold air in during the winter and heat during the summer.
We are so happy with our new windows and glass doors, they look great but most importantly they are energy efficient! We also love the new blinds, after visiting every blinds store in the area, we decided on the honeycomb blinds that have the ability to be opened from top down and bottom up. These are perfect for providing privacy in our living area while allowing plenty of natural light in.
