Hello, DIYers!

Windows are a fabulous part of the home, because it is so lovely to enjoy the natural light. Unfortunately, there are privacy needs, furniture and flooring to protect, and sometimes the sun is just too bright! For that reason, we need window treatments! No matter which way you want to go about it, window treatments can get pricey! You might need custom, or have to cut a pre-made set. Curtains are one thing, but then you need to make sure you have the curtain rods and all of the hardware. And naturally, the cheaper the items you buy, the worse they perform when you want to open and close your windows as you choose. But we’re coming with you today with some positively FABULOUS alternatives and DIY ideas to help you decorate your windows on a budget while still looking great!

Some of them are alternatives to traditional shading and curtains… some of them are hacks that will help you get the look you want at a big discount. Give them a try!
