Curtain and home design sites
While at the home improvement store, you should visit the lumber area
and choose an unfinished dowel to use for the curtain rod. You will want
to be sure it is the right width to support the rings you plan to use.
It must also be the right length for your window; of course, you can
always cut the dowel to size once you have done the final measurements.
If you choose a dowel, you will need to visit the cabinet or drawer
section of the store and choose two drawer knobs that might look
attractive as finials when screwed on to each end of the rod. Use your
design imagination and look for something that will enhance the décor in
your room.

Replacing windows sometimes requires a professional.
Window replacement may require the assistance of a general contractor or
window company, depending on the size and complexity of your project.
Cost depends on the number and sizes of the
vinyl windows you wish to
replace. If you are changing the size of the original windows, or your
size requires a special order, it will cost more. When replacing your
homes windows, look for windows that use low emissive glass or Low E
glass. This will improve the energy efficiency of your home. A thin
layer of coating on one side of the E glass will help insulate the
window. This type of extremely thin coating is a clear silver layer
between two metal oxide layers. With this coating it helps to reduce
heat loss by reflecting the heat back into your home. In addition it
will help block harmful ultraviolet rays from coming through the glass.
This type of ultraviolet ray can cause fading of fabric, furniture, and
other valuable items in the house.

Priming your shutters
Prime your exterior
window shutters with an oil-based coat tinted as closely as possible
to the final color you desire. The paint should be sprayed on the wood
in a fine mist so that the oil will penetrate into the seams and joints
and protect the wood from moisture. Don't forget to paint in between and
around louvers and corners. Use a high-quality grade of exterior latex
paint for the two top coats. Latex paint will not become chalky or fade
like an oil-based paint.
