Mike and I both have our favorite places in the house, his the man cave and mine, the master bedroom. I have been working on our bedroom since we moved in and I am loving how it is shaping up. Adding the shiplap wall totally changed the look of the room and I love the way our new night stands tuned out. One thing that has needed improvement since we moved in are the window coverings.
The first night in the new house, Mike and I were exhausted from moving all day, but too tired to sleep………you know the feeling? We were laying in bed, and quickly realized we need curtains!! We have a ginormous window in our master and right outside is a street light! Since our bedroom is on the second floor the street light is more like a spot light! I hung curtains the next day!
It has been just over a year with the curtains hung and I do love them, however they still let in a lot of light. Time for some shades!! The trouble with shades and our windows are this. The window has a large center pane of glass that does not open and a slider window on each side. I didn’t want one large shade because there may be a time when I only want to open one side window and not both. So I thought ordering three shades would be best.
To help us out dim the bright light that shines in on us in the middle of the night, I am honored to have partnered with Select Blinds on this sponsored post. *Thank you for supporting the brand partners that make Lyndale Drive possible! This post contains affiliate links.*
I have to say, Select Blinds representatives were great to work with and answered all my questions (I had a few!). They sent me this awesome sample kit which made the selection process much easier! Well, kind of………..I hate making decisions like these………..should I go with 2 inch wood or bamboo, white or wood grain………..arggg………
Well, I finally made the decision and selected these beautiful bamboo no cord shades. I love the way the bamboo ties in the oak pieces I have used through out the room! (I had a plan B – if I don’t like them in the bedroom, they will fit the living room window too, so I wasn’t too worried!!!)
I Guess I will have to get more, because I’m keeping them in the master!! I added the room darkening feature to the shades due to Mikes odd working schedule. He often sleeps in the basement because it is darker than our bedroom. That’s a silly place to sleep when we have a perfectly good bed in a pitch black room when the shades are drawn! Good Night, sleep tight………….all night………….or day!
