Diapers No More!

No, this isn’t a post about potty training my cat.  It’s actually a quick Friday before and after!  When we signed the contract for our house we had requested the previous owners leave the existing window treatments.  Great tip from Mom that we wouldn’t want to have to decide on curtains as soon as we moved in.  Anyway, it didn’t really process that they’d be leaving us with these.

Oh my God, they’re gorgeous.

We fondly referred to them as “the diapers.”  Though they’ve also got sort of a pantaloon thing going on.  Sadly they hung around much longer than anyone wanted them to.

After many, many swatches from Smith + Noble and The Shade Store, we decided to go with a simple roller shade in a neutral color and natural texture.  So now our windows look like this.

So the diapers are gone!  Yay, everyone cheer!
