When raising my seven stairstep children, 7 in 10 years, I ALWAYS used a cotton tablecloth. The clothes would catch spills, which seemed to happen often, and crumbs. I would shake the crumbs outside and hang to dry spills. Then I would wash one load of tableclothes and kitchen towels per week. (Picked them up at garage sales.) They saved me a lot of messes and headaches. ❤

@shannontorrens1 Жыл бұрын

Yes! I agree with this so much. Our tablecloths have helped to keep our table in really good condition and it helps me to relax because I don't need to worry my boys will mark on the table.

A tip for childrens clothes! Use a sharpie and put 1 dot on your oldest's clothes tag and 2 dots on your second son's. And when your second grows into the first's then you can put a 2nd dot on them. You can continue this if you have a 3rd son by putting 3 dots. 👍🏻

We always use a tablecloth when the grandchildren are visiting!

2 ideas....ive done both. Block windows let in light but diffused. People can not see in.....you cant see out. No window treatments needed. The other thing is hiring a company to tint window. Again it cuts way back on brightness of light coming in. Also during day people can not see in window but you can see out. At night however when it is dark outside and lights are on inside....you need shades..... Hope this helps.

My bedroom window gets a lot of sun too, and it's a huge window, so We had a sun shade at 1 point that filtered the sun. Now we have a retractable awning outside the window that I can open and close With a remote control. and control the light, and it's awesome.

In Australia we have a double blind option, which you can still soften with a curtain in front. It is a blockout blind and a sheer blind. I’ve used them in windows like yours and the size window you have. So much better then Venetian blinds. I clean my mothers house yearly and every window is a wooden Venetian blind that has to be taken outside, hung from washing line and wash with soap and water (a mixture of dust, salt water and pollution from the coalfields). Was a lovely video to watch. Thank you 🙏

Could you do the cell shades that open from top and/or bottom? TBH they don't get that dusty! Worth the investment imo. And maybe wear a high-quality soft sleeping mask to block the rest of the light instead of using curtains? I am very sensitive to light but cell shades + sleeping mask and no bedroom curtains work great for me. Make sure you pay for the light blocking vs filtering finish on the shades if that is important to you...

It is an all in one blinds and depending on how you pull it up or down let’s light gently filter in for the day or block it out at night. I am sure there are lots of companies that make and sell them, I am in Canada and Blinds Galore came up when I searched US companies that sold them. They are great.
