Cheap Curtain!

Posted on the 01 November 2012 by Nicoleao @momfever

Goedkoop gordijnIt’s been 10 months now since we moved to the country, but I still have no curtains.

And that’s because I don’t want to loose any light or the gorgeous views, and because I’m cheap.

Sunshine on my computer, doesn’t make me happy

In the cubby hole that is my office, I haven’t got a curtain either, and this is becoming a problem. Because whenever the sun is joyfully shining, I can hardly see a thing on my computer screen. Usually I put this big carboard poster of Jesus against the window, but even Jesus can’t totally block the sun.

So there I was, wringing my hands, wondering what to do without spending a lot of money.

Cheap curtain

Then suddenly in a flash of brilliance it hit me: I would tie a piece of rope across the windowsill, and throw a piece of fabric over it. You can see the result in the picture!

It just goes to show: if you’re neither handy nor rich, you gotta be inventive.

Do you have any ideas for cheap alternatives to curtains?
