The Complete Make-Over of a Small Guesthouse
December 1st, 2009 | 
Author: For months now, I have been wanting to renovate and revitalize my small guesthouse. When I moved in three years ago, all I brought with me from Chicago was my dog, my wooden chair, and a well used wooden easel. There were no shades or curtains on the windows, so at that time, I did stop in to Next Day Blinds. The sales people were extremely helpful, but I just was not sure of what I wanted.
Now, years later, my small space became filled with too much stuff, and not enough design elements, so I decided that it is finally time. I started by cleaning out all the clutter. I decided in front of which window my now three easels would be set in front of, and took down my notes that I would bring with me on my next visit to Next Day Blinds Virginia. Criticisms about light were running through my head and I knew that the staff there would have solutions to provide me with. At some point I will put in a skylight as I have no windows on the North side of my house, and was needing a solution for poor lighting to paint under. I went to the “mistake” paint shelves at Home Depot and found some great colors at very inexpensive prices. I put a few strokes of that paint down on some old drawing notebook to bring with me as well.
I had been want to cover my windows for some time, as my landlords living in the front house often threw outdoor parties, and I wanted the privacy that drawn blinds or shades would provide. So I took my questions, and my homemade swatches of paint, and went back to Next Day Blinds. The same man that had helped me three years earlier was still working there and was surprised that he actually remembered my name. He answered my questions, and we looked through the various colors, and I found my solutions to my lighting issues. Even though it took a few years, the make-over was a success and my experience at Next Day Blinds will be repeated to all my friends needing to update their living spaces as well.
