From day one in our apartment.
We purchased a really nice TV for our Christmas present, but the huge windows create somewhat of a nasty glare. So, one day about four weeks ago, I came home from work and discovered this:
Notice the part where I wrote that I had been at work when this Alma Mater window covering had been hung up; Mark knows I'm way too picky.
As you can see, we've digressed back to our college apartment days. So, since I'm not a fan of the Texas Tech drapes but I don't want there to be a glare on the TV, I've been racking my brain for ideas on how to cover (or partially cover) the window. I know that doesn't seem like such a big task, but as I mentioned earlier I'm very picky. I don't like valances, and I didn't like the idea of hemming really short curtains because of how they might look hanging next to long curtains (for the windows on the side) when open. Like I said: picky. Then I saw this picture and the wheels started turning:
Look at how pretty that is! YHL is definitely onto something. I never wanted to cover up the window completely so this seems like a perfect idea, plus the mirror will hopefully make the room look bigger while blocking out some of the glare. Since I get tunnel vision a lot I started looking for basically the exact same mirror but with no luck. I started to give up hope on finding a mirror and then I started browsing on Target's website.
Good ol' Targét! Fifteen inches round and only forty big ones! Plus it also solves my "How do I suspend a mirror in front of a window" problem. I am a little worried that the mirror may be too small since my window is 43" across, so I'll see if I can't find a bigger one. If I decide to stick with the 15" mirror I might end up adding some hanging terrariums to fill some empty space.
It'll either be terrariums or some slender wood cutouts if I can find some I like. Thoughts?
