Help Me Choose Curtains & Window Things! 🪟

I’m about to move into our new/first house!!šŸ˜

SO exciting, and this big beautiful window is my favorite part- I just want to make the most of it!

What are your ideas and opinions??

The big window is in a rather small living room. I love the idea of a bold colored, linen curtain… but for convenience purposes it’d really make sense to get a pretty (maybe patterned?) blackout curtain. For heat and for movie watching during the day🤣

The other open window with the flower tray below it outside (which I LOVEšŸ’–) is in the kitchen.. and I really want to shower and frame it with houseplants! Should I still do curtains around it??

Does anyone not have blinds and regret it? Bc I can’t stand blindsšŸ˜…

Share all your thoughts and ideas!!!

I too have shades. Roman shades in my fancy windows in my last house. While pulled up, they just looked nice. And while down, so cute. You can’t pay yours decide if you’d like them patterned or not

A white graphic lists "1. Cold Exposure" as a biohacking secret. It details why cold therapy works, including boosting brown fat and improving circulation, and suggests actions like cold showers or ice baths, accompanied by relevant emojis.
A white graphic outlines "2. Intermittent Fasting." It explains how fasting triggers cellular repair and supports brain health, and provides gentle starting tips like 12:12 or 14:10 fasting, and consuming whole foods.
BioHacking Secrets to Help You Live & Look Longer
Okay girls, I know "biohacking" sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but I promise you it's real-life magic. Think of it as modern-day alchemy—little tweaks, science-backed strategies, and daily habits that can seriously boost your energy, brainpower, and even how long you live.

A window with dark brown curtains hung too low, just above the frame, and not wide enough. Text labels it "Wrong," stating it "Makes ceilings look shorter" because the curtains cover part of the window.
