The Titus 2 Homemaker

With the sale of the house approaching, I’m taking a closer look at decorating options.  For example, window coverings.  I am not a big fan of blinds.  (Except for wooden or bamboo blinds.  I like natural materials.)  But so many houses seem to come with blinds already installed.  I prefer real curtains, or Roman shades.

Likewise, most houses seem to come with carpeting everywhere (because it’s cheap, I guess).  That’s one thing that’s really exciting about our house.  It has carpet in part of the office, but that’s it.  Everything else is hard-surface floors.  And all of the ground floor, apart from the kitchen and bathrooms, is real hardwood. :)  (Most of the trim is stained wood, too.)

So…I’ve been trying to sort out what I like and where to get it.  I discovered that I really like the fabric that good-quality painters’ drop cloths are made from, so I might someday cover sofa cushions with those.  (New, not used and covered with paint!)  They’re pretty inexpensive as compared to upholstery fabric.  Now to find some inexpensive crate-style furniture.
