Window Help

[litotease]

Does anybody out there in the peanut gallery have suggestions for inexpensive window treatments?

The thing I love about my new room is that it's got windows on three sides (one of 'em a big sliding glass door that goes out onto a wrap-around deck that's only accessible from this room!).

Except that since I work mostly nights, I need to find a way to block out all of that light so's I can sleep.

I'm adept enough with a sewing machine to do your basic straight seam....

Thoughts?

Well, speaking as an experienced napper... I have a room that faces east and southwest, so it's always sunny, and I use blinds. It keeps the whole room remarkably dark (although not entirely black). You can get plain, solid color ones for ten or fifteen bucks and then spruce 'em up with some mad sewing skills--either drapery across the top or full ones to pull completely across.

The door's tougher (although totally jealous of your set-up, it sounds gorgeous--wrap-around deck, woman!). Maybe Roman blinds? Or those vertical ones, maybe, and then do the same as above so it's all matching and such.

Hope that helps! How's the new pad?

Hey lady! Where you at? *iz worried*

Life is being hard, and we're circling around the edges of some stuff in therapy that has me feeling vulnerable and fragile, so I'm not feeling very safe in the world. Keeping it together for work is taking all my energy, so the rest of the time I'm hiding under the (metaphorical) covers. I'm still here, though, and OK other than that.

&hearts &hearts &hearts you for noticing and caring.

OK. :) I was a little worried you were sick again, so I wanted to check.

If you need to talk, I am offering a friendly ear. And if you need to stay under the covers I'll be here when you're ready to come out.
