Look what I did!

Well, I'm actually getting to work on the house...just like I said I needed and wanted to. I have to admit - I am quite proud of myself for this first task I've accomplished! 

At the back of my house, I have a lovely sunroom. Really, it is a greenhouse attached to the house. It has windows that only open partway, a ceiling full of skylights, and has no insulation. Only problem with this is that in the summer it is like an oven...and all that heat soaks into the rest of my house. You see, the doors between the sunroom and the kitchen are interior quality French doors - quite pretty, but very little insulative value. What did I do? I bought a very inexpensive quilt ($6.00) at a discount store, cut it into curtains and hung myself 2 insulated curtains. I think they are quite pretty, and they're making about a 15' difference in my kitchen on hot summer afternoons! Yeah, me! On to my next project. ;-)
