No longer blinded...

By the light.

Inspired by the impact of the aluminum foil on the stair window, Robyn and I decided it was time to get blinds up in the other rooms where we were getting the most sun light.

In the kitchen nook, we put up some bamboo matchstick blinds:



What I like about these blinds, is they filter out about 50% of the light and you still have a good view of the outside.

For the kitchen window and the third bedroom windows, we put up plain old vinyl venetian blinds.


After I took the picture of the kitchen blinds, I remembered I never updated about the new kitchen cabinet and drawer knobs from Ikea:


...and no, I wasn't the party who drilled the holes crooked.  They were already like that.

We also removed the acoustic ceiling tile from the ceiling in the third bedroom.




The ceiling underneath the tile wasn't in that bad of shape.  And we found out why so many of the tiles were attached with sheetrock screws...


The staples originally used weren't long enough!

As in the other rooms, we uncovered the remnants of the cool original wallpaper.



Our plans now are to replace the ceiling tile with beaded board paneling.  Once that is done and the room is painted,


Lucy will lose her perch.
