Eclipse

Let me start by showing you the hottest room on our house.

Our master bedroom... and I don't mean THAT kind of hot. Geez people get your minds out of the gutter {smile}!

You see that nice set of bay windows? They face due west, without any trees for shade relief. On a hot summer day, in Oklahoma, this room can easily be 20 degrees warmer than any other room in the house.


It was miserable to sleep in such an “oven” during the summer months.


Desperate {almost lining the windows with foil} I stumbled across these at my local Wal-mart a few weeks back.

I bought a few panels and was willing to give it a try.

Not only was it now 20 degrees cooler we were able to tell, in one month, a drop in our electric bill.

However, they are dog ugly!

So I added a bit of trim here

and there.

Now, it's trickled over into “revamping” this entire room. I am so done with the animal print and brown colors.

It’s time to make it bright, light and airy!


If you are looking for window coverings that can help give you some relief, I highly recommend the Eclipse panels from Wal-mart.
