Window Love

I’m not sure if it’s a case of early nesting…. but this past week I’ve been hit with the urge to redecorate my entire house. Every little thing is driving me crazy – maybe it’s too much time looking at dream homes on Pinterest! The one thing that I hate about our little house, is the lack of natural light. We’re short on windows, and often the living/dining room can be so dark that even in the middle of summer we need the lights on in the middle of the day.

Currently, we have curtains up at all the windows – some lovely, vintage curtains that I inherited from my Grandmother-in-law. And while I love them, they block some of the light and I’m feeling the urge for a ‘sleeker’ look – perhaps some VELUX blinds? I love the idea of pleated or roller blinds, as they somehow feel a little less obtrusive than curtains do.

I love that VELUX offer blackout blinds, that not only block the light when you want to, but also offer heat control. Baya just saw that they have a Princess blind, so I’ve converted her at least to the idea of blinds over curtains! I’m thinking of white walls, roller blinds on the windows, some hanging plants and a whole lot less clutter!

I love the natural light in these photos, the clean lines and simplicity of the blinds. My tastes have changed since we moved into this house and first decorated. I’ll be doing some serious window {hehe} shopping with Blinds of VELUX and trying to convince G that we need some lovely new blinds at all our windows ;)
