I am VERY pleased. He is very pleased…

It took about 2 hours to install the drapery and 30 minutes to rearrange the furniture.  I couldn’t wait to prepare today’s post so I took the “after” photo late last night.  It’s amazing how window treatments can change the entire look of the space.

I’m sure you see the unruly cable cord under the end tables.  We completely rearranged the furniture so the television is now on the opposite side of the room. I’m calling the cable company today to request a new outlet!

The coffee table is a hand-me-down that we’ve owned for 4 years now. My youngest thinks it’s a stage and used it to practice his dance moves much to my dismay. Not looking for a new one any time soon. I intentionally did not show the fireplace wall because it needs work. The fireplace is in great shape, but we haven’t found the right items for the mantel display.

I’m sure the next question is regarding privacy. The back of our house faces a wooded area and the backyard is fenced on all sides. We’re going to live with the openness for a minute and maybe even streak through the room naked just for fun (kidding).

Here’s a little survey: Would you be concerned about the openness? If so, what window option would you consider for the lower windows?
