You all know how it is when you start a room redo. You are just going to do one thing. But after you do that one thing it seems to make everything else look bad. So, you are only going to do one more thing but it starts to take on a life of its own. Maybe you paint the room, but then the furniture looks really sad or the curtains are yucky. The same thing happened in the studio redo.
When I first moved into the studio, I made some curtains and a matching cornice board. But now with the furniture painted, the windows needed a redo, too. I had originally thought about venetian blinds but the cost seemed too much. So I just left everything as it was. Boo hoo!
About a week after the room redo was complete, I went to my favorite place "Goodwill". After checking out the furniture area, I started toward the front of the store to leave when I spied a cart full of boxes of white 2" wooden venetian blinds. I immediately asked the lady behind the counter if they belonged to someone. She said "No, they were for sale". I started checking my phone for the window sizes I had measured a few months earlier, but they were not there. I rushed home, which is only a couple of miles from the store, hoping the blinds would be the right size. Well, they were the exact size I needed.
The price was too fabulous, $9.99 each. I checked the brand online and discovered they were stocked at Home Depot. The Home Depot price was $ 31.85 each. After I got over the shock and the thrifty honey installed them I was just beside myself. These blinds really made the studio redo complete.
Happy Thriftying!
