Curtains and blinds installed

Wow! I never realised how hard it is to take decent photos of curtains and blinds when they're hanging, especially with an iPhone! Apologies for the crap photos, I will try to take better ones with a real camera. When I do I'll update this post.

These are the curtains in the master bedroom. Blockout curtain to the rear and sheer curtain in front. I love these!

The bathroom has a roller blond in a taupe colour. My step-son's room and the spare bedroom (which we are using as study) has the same roller blind.

Front study (ie. spare room) has a sheer roller blind inside the frame and a blockout blind in taupe on top. 

In the laundry we opted for a single sheer roller blind to filter light as required. 

The theatre room has a sheer roller blind inside the frame and heavy blockout curtains the full width of the wall. These are a grey colour but the warm lighting makes them look brown :-/

Tried to take a photo with the curtains open and failed miserably! Lol

The curtain is a lovely mid grey colour

For the two windows on one side of the Mancave we chose dark sheer rollers inside the frame with a very dark charcoal blockout roller on top. These work well against the grey walls. 

There are many windows that we didn't buy coverings for. Unsure whether we will or not. Many of the other windows are up high or are quite private so I guess when were living there we will decide.

Our fence guy was back today and should hopefully be finished.

Fingers crossed we have the surveyor coming out tomorrow. We still haven't received confirmation as to whether it has been booked in or not. 

Curtains and blinds chosen

Today I met on site with Kevin from Kresta Curtains & Blinds to measure our windows and quote for curtains and blinds.

We are lucky in that we do not have to have all our windows covered. Here is what we have chosen.

Master bedroom will be double track with sheer curtain in the front and blockout fabric behind on the second track. The curtains will cover the entire wall. 

The sheer curtain is a lovely straw colour with vertical stripes. I didn't think I'd go with a pattern but it was very pretty and elegant looking. The fabric has a beautiful sheen to it too.

The highlite window above our bed will have a basic blockout roller blind in White. I wanted to keep that one quite simple so it didn't detract from the large curtains on the other wall.

The front Study (our spare bedroom) will have both windows covered with a double roller blind. The sunscreen blind will be Sterling and the blockout blind will be Taupe.

The laundry sliding door will have a sunscreen blind in Sterling. I wasn't concerned about having a blockout blind in the laundry. 

Bedroom 2 & bedroom 3 will have a blockout roller blind in Taupe. Sunscreen blind is not required as those windows will have window film on them. The bathroom will also have the blockout blind in Taupe.

The theatre room will have the sunscreen roller blind in Sterling. We will then have a blockout curtain that covers the entire wall in a dark grey colour called Shadow. 

The two windows in the west side of the man cave will have double roller blinds in the below colour combination to compliment the mid grey paint colour. 

We were happy with the quote from Kresta and we will phone them next week to order and pay the deposit. If we order these ASAP we shouldn't be without window coverings for long after we have moved in.
