Windows....
when you first moved into your house, what did you do with your windows before you can install blindes and window treatments?
(I do not want to cover them with a sheet!  )

Re: Windows....
My mom gave us some paper shades that she bought in the city for a room that we didn't have blinds up in.

Re: Windows....
buy cheapo black-out shades or horizontal blinds. both are easy to hang.

Re: Windows....
The previous homeowners left the blinds on (I was under the impression that they had to), we used them until we got our own.

Re: Windows....
most of the windows had the blinds left in, but a lot of the rooms reaked of smoke, so we threw most of them out... the only room that i was concerned about having blinds up in was the bedroom, and we just used a sheet until we got our blinds... personally, we couldnt afford to put up cheap blinds, until we picked what we really wanted...
if i were to ever move again, i would take window measurements when we did the walk through, and have my blinds ready to go the day we moved in!

Re: Windows....
We had the paper ones, bought them at Bed Bath & Beyond. They actually look like regular blinds, except they are paper. They are around $5-6 each and come with plastic clips to open them up if you want. They come in 2 different sizes, and you can just cut them if neither size works for the window.
We had these for a year until we got regular blinds.

Re: Windows....
My previous homeowner left all the window treatments (drapes, rods, etc.)
They don't look too bad so we decided to keep them (for now).

Re: Windows....
We lived on paper shades for awhile. To be honest they didn't look too bad. We got them at home depot. very easy to install ( they just stick), and very cheap!

Re: Windows....
We went to WalMart and got cheap vinyl blinds. They were about $3.50 per window.

I actually think they look like real shades - And People that have come to the house have thought this too
