window dressing

Bridget's sister is in desperate need of window treatments. Those tall and bare Brooklyn windows are waking up their new baby Greta. Here are some possible choices that are affordable, simple, yet still suited to the task.

we have thick white curtains, similar to the ones below from ikea in our living room. clean and simple (and cheap) works every time - especially when renting.

each of the curtains above could be paired with ribbons ties, or for a little color, wall hooks (hang horizontally instead of vertically) to hold back your curtains when you do want light.

Textured roller shades are also a nice option - clean lines, but still interesting:





And she's in the market for a rug for their living room. Here are some of our faves lately:

  1. yes, this more than helps. this officially makes me want to turn over our entire apartment to your able hands. I am excited! and it really is affordable. and I now sound like an infomercial interviewee - forgive me. but when there is little else to do and when i am home so often, i think very much about these things and this is very inspiring and exciting. will you two please quit your jobs and start doing interior decorating for your less than wealthy age-mates?
