Window Treatments

Hey, it's Jen.  I figured I would take a few minutes and answer a few of the more female oriented questions. 

First and foremost: curtains!  Only in the bedrooms!  I've never been a fan of window coverings, not even when I lived on a standard city/suburbia lot with houses so close I could touch them with a broom out my own window.  None of the windows except the bedroom ones will have any coverings at all.

Paint colors:  I'm sure Jim will be taking pictures of those soon enough, but they are all warm, earthy, fall colors.  Caramels and wheat, ginger spice, dried moss, etc.  We didn't go with dark colors as our house is actually fairly small and cozy, but we definitely went deeper than antique white and cool pastels.  Nice thing about paint is if we don't like it, it's easy to change!

Landscaping:  Jim's pictures are making it glaringly obvious that the outside is so bare!!  I joked to someone that the design of the front our house looks like the opposite of a toddler decorating a Christmas tree- all the windows are on the top 2/3rds of the house.  IMHO, we are desperately needing some bushes, shrubs, and maybe even a lovely Japanese Maple to dress up the lower 1/3rd of the house.  This will be my next "big project."  I absolutely adore landscaping, gardening, and planning so there is no way I'll be hiring this project out!  I can't wait to do it myself which means I need to start pulling out the catalogs and making sketches.  Fun!!
