As long as I have some privacy from neighbors’ eyes, I often find myself forgetting completely about window treatments. For me, they easily become that thing in your home that you walk by every day without even really seeing. For something that I thought didn’t matter, I was shocked at what a huge difference it made. When open, my new drapes let in abundant light and when closed, they frame the window in a way that I find much more pleasing. The whole effect is more airy and elegant. So as a new window treatment convert, I combed through our Sneak Peek archives for some window treatment inspiration. After all, I still need to tackle the other five windows in my new room in Vapi

Window shades are probably the most common, perhaps even the oldest, kind of window covering in the world. Very generally, window shades are made from a single sheet of fabric or material that can be rolled or folded up, thus allowing light to come into a room

Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.
