New window panels

I've been sprucing up my office a bit, so this week I'll be featuring a couple of the updates.

I was walking around The Container Store last Friday when I stumbled upon these decorative panels. They instantly reminded me of the Tord Bootje Until Dawn curtains.

I starting thinking...I wonder if these panels will fit the small corner windows in my office. Sure enough I had written down the window dimensions in the little notebook I like to carry around with me. And guess what? Perfect fit. I looked at the price...$10 for 4 square panels...Can I really cover 3 windows for $20?!

Yes... Just take a look.

I attached them with silver florist wire to the bottom of my existing metal blinds, completely collapsed. Although I'm thinking for a more permanent fixture I can just cut the strings on the metal blinds, removing them completely so only the top mount remains. Then reattach my panels to the top mount.

3 full-sized panels for each window was a bit too long so I cut the last one in half and trimmed around the pattern.
