DIY & Home Improvement

Today, we baked pumpkin cookies and he helped to measure, pour, mix and stir the batter. Of course, he enjoyed eating them too! However, I thinked that he liked making them more than eating them.

I was already thinking of using some heavy thrift store drapes from my favorite local thrift store. I hope that my son is old enough to NOT want to pull them down. He's really big, curious and strong and he's been into everything. (He pushed the screens out of the second story windows and then made holes in the bottoms of the screens when I had them reinstalled and nailed onto the window frame from the outside.) Mini blinds and curtains have not been possible up to this point in time due to the dangers of the blind cords and the possibility of him pulling down the curtains and rods. I just have valences over the windows in his room right now. I'm ready for more privacy when we want it. We have a nice view of our garden and the woods from my son's room, but our neighbors can see in the windows at night when we have the lights on.

I will have to use the film installed on a framework as shown in the DIY link because my windows have individual panes of glass separated by wood frame molding. So, it's not really possible to easily put film on every pane. Even if I did that, there is still the problem of air coming in around the edges of the entire window frame.

How did you put up your bubble wrap on your bathroom window? Did you use packing tape or doublesided tape or some sort of framework? See, you had no idea you were so fashion forward in your interior decorating! I'm glad to know that bubble wrap and film really do work well.

The bubble wrap installation in the link in my OP looks great. I have no idea where to get bubble wrap that wide and long. I'm sure someone is disposing of some somewhere though.

Thanks so much for the feedback.
