Window Treatments

Window treatments can do wonders for a house. However, they can often be very expensive. I learned a little trick my junior year that is great for newlyweds or trying to decorate on a budget. Adjustable curtain rods can be found for $4-10 at shopko and other similar stores. What's nice is they come in several finishes so you can choose what looks best for your place. I particularly like the brushed bronze and black. They look metal but are really plastic which makes them so cheap. They're easy to put up in a weekend but still makes a big difference! Use curtains or even drape a sheer fabric around the rod to create a more relaxed feel!
