Even though the Master Bedroom and Bathroom are officially finished (at least as far as the construction goes!) there is still some fine tuning to be done. Remember those UGLY windows?

| The UGLY window |
The plastic, textured ones that blocked the view but didn't pass code? We had them replaced with clear glass that was tempered and double paned. Much nicer looking, I must say. But there was a privacy issue. This ain't no peep show, people. You could actually SEE inside the bathroom from the front of the cabin. Yikes. We can't have that, now can we? No indeedy. The first (and temporary) solution was to hang some panels that I bought at a discount outlet.

They were 50 cents each, and I bought 6 for each window. At 3 windows, that's 18 panels for only 9 smackers. The problem was that 3 were needed for each side of the window, creating space between the panels that you had to arrange carefully every time you closed them to avoid being able to see in. It was annoying. It was also dark. We spent lots of cash to change those textured windows to upgraded clear, double paned, up-to-code ones, and I didn't want to hide them. So, I went to my favorite little fabric shop and found tons of fabric that would be just perfect for only a dollar a yard! I bought 20 yards, which was enough for all the windows and also a matching shower curtain. Score.

After sewing the window panels, I hung them on rods and rings. Its so easy now to open and close them, and no worries about anyone seeing in. I haven't made the shower curtain yet, but that will be my next sewing project.
My next project (other than sewing a shower curtain) is to paint a large mirror to hang above the master bathroom vanity. We currently have one up just so that the bathroom is functional, but it's not nearly large enough for two sinks. More on that later!
Gotta go and celebrate my hubby's birthday. It's officially on Monday, but we are celebrating this weekend with our sons and daughters in law. Fun times!
Hello! Gwen
ReplyDeleteJust browsed through your posts. You have certainly taken on a challenge and it must be so satisfying getting it just the way you want it. Very impressive.
Would not be calling your home a Wendy House in England though but a cabin. W H is just a small play house in the garden.
Thank you Barbara! It is satisfying, altho quite the challenge! I thoroughly enjoy your blog. Blessings to you!
