We Picked Out Our Blinds!

You know...it doesn't seem to matter how I pick out the sequence of the photos, they come up wherever they want!! We picked our blinds today, yay, and John got most of the lights/fans up, so I thought I would take some pictures as well! AND imagine my surprise when the DOORBELL rang....I didn't even know we had one installed yet! Hee! We decided to go with horizontal blinds for all except the front window that faces the street; those will be vertical. We chose fabric for the vertical and the cloth like we have here. They will be the exact same style of blinds we have at the Chelmsford house, except they won't be "black out" blinds. John did special things while insulating so we shouldn't have to worry about things like that. All of the window coverings, except the one in the Master Bath and over the kitchen sink window will be the kind that not only pull up from the bottom, but the top goes down too. That way we can still have some privacy, get some light, and still have a view!

Here is our doorbell!

This is a bad picture....But you can kind of see how things mesh together. The fabric on the left is the blind fabric for the front window vertical blinds. It's called Sienna. Then there is a piece of our flooring on top of the tile for the fireplace. (Speaking of which, I said in a post that John was doing that, but someone is coming Monday to do it!). Cocoa Mist is the color of our blinds for the rest of our house; I think if you really wanted to see them you could go to 3dayblinds.com and check it out there. We will have them by next Friday, so once John gets them up I will take pictures!


This is the mess we were making while choosing! I chose the fabric for the vertical blind, and John loved it. So we chose it! LOL. Then Danielle, our blind lady (LOL) found the color for the other blinds, which was great! We went through a few, but this was perfect!



This is the chandilier over the dining room. John has it pulled up so he won't knock himself out everytime he walks under it...



The is one of the 2 wall sconces; this in the one on the left!

All the "stuff" you have chosen does look fabulous. However, I really love the doorbell and want to stand on your porch and ring it.
