Blinds...Blinds...Blinds

I have desperately wanted a change in my window decor. My 11 year old mini blinds are looking a little sad. After 3 kids pulling and peeking through them they have seen better days. I have never loved the look of mini blinds, but they were cheap which made them practical....so up they went.

Now for the fantastic news.... I used to be a DI shopper all the time, but Goodwill is so much closer and they have 50% off days...can I say more. So the last time I was at DI was seriously over a year ago. So off I went just to check things out. What a great decision that was. I found in the AS IS section brand new never been opened white wood 2 inch blinds. SCORE!! They were $10.o0 a piece on a sort of clearance. So I bought 3 and literally sang all the way home. I forgot to mention my Dad happened to be with me and helped talk me into it. We decided that they were a little to wide...ie about 3 1/2 inches to wide....so we decided to take them home and cut them to fit. VIOLA...They look perfect. (Thank you Dad) So the very next day I went back to DI and bought 3 more for other windows in my house. They were Home Depot blinds "Basswood". I checked online and the same window size I purchased for 10 bucks was originally $104.00

So I spent a total of $60.00 and I saved $560.00 YES!!! Seriously why anyone pays full price for anything boggles my mind. Now I need to buy 6 smaller blinds for the remaining windows...wish me luck!
