One of our upstairs bedrooms has 5 windows, one on the side wall and the other 4 facing the street. We use the other bedroom so have put off doing anything about those bare windows until yesterday when I finally wanted to soften that room up. When I've gone to bed at night and passed that room I've noticed how brightly the street lights and Legion lights shine in. Dale wasn't bothered, but then, we don't sleep there.
I went to Home Depot's website and ordered some shades for curbside pickup. That was great! Ordered and in 20 minutes I could go and get them. The quickness certainly kept me on the job. These shades are made of some sort of sturdy paper that are kind of like an accordian, the folds drop down when hung. You can cut them to the correct width followed up sticking them up thanks to a strip of sticky tape on the top.
It's sounds kind of cheap, but actually they look good, do a good job of blocking sight and light without being too dark in the day. Perfect for the interval between real window coverings and now. This room has a of couple areas to it which is nice. The best part of these shades is they come with clips that you can use if you want to raise up the shades for more light. Push up on the folds and clip in place.
And yes, I washed all the windows first, inside and outside.
