Hey friends! Are you excited about home projects this year? I am — I have so many ideas and can’t wait to get started.
One project on our list since we moved in more than two years ago has been finishing the window coverings. I already installed woven shades in the living and dining rooms and we love them. That part was easy and turned out beautifully.
But I was indecisive about the next step: what to do for the bedroom and lower-level windows. The windows in this house are unlike any I’ve lived with before, so I took my time to find the right solution. I wanted each room to feel right individually while also creating a cohesive look for the whole house.

Because all the bedroom windows sit on the same side of the house, their appearance from the exterior mattered. This is a house where window coverings are necessary for privacy and light control, so functionality was as important as style.
While I weighed options, my son managed with a sheet over his window for two years. Yes, I admit it — a fitted blue sheet held things together for far too long. Temporary solutions would have worked, but we were waiting to make a permanent choice that fit the home’s overall look.
Now that decision is made: I ordered white plantation shutters. I’m thrilled with this choice and confident they’ll elevate the rooms.
Shutters provide excellent light control and privacy, and they create a clean architectural statement both inside and out. They add character without feeling fussy and will complement the direction I’m taking the house’s design. I’ve used shutters in previous homes and feel comfortable returning to this classic option.

I can’t wait for the shutters to arrive and will share details once they’re installed. Making this decision has energized me and sparked more ideas for moving the rest of the project forward.
If you have home projects stalled in limbo, know that taking time to decide is normal. Creating a home is personal and thoughtful choices pay off. Once you make a decision, momentum follows and it feels great to move ahead with confidence.
