Marcel and I were talking about Christmas today when we were on the way to the doc to get his stitches out and I made the suggestion that we do a few home improvements this year as opposed to buying each other Christmas gifts. Neither of us really need anything, and I saw some beautiful wooden blinds that I would love to have for our bedrooms.
We have shades but have been talking about wooden blinds for a long time, and I love the selection that I found. It meant that I could get the two colors that I wanted, one in a deeper wood color for our bedroom and a lighter color for the guest room. Then again, black may also work in the guest room, because I’m working on some film grain shots to hang in there for art, and the room will be black and white with a touch of red.
I think home improvements are a great idea instead of Christmas gifts, especially if you’re like us and don’t really need anything but have home improvments that you’d like to make. Definitely something to consider.
