Read MoreNatural Woven Shades Tutorial
Ever since I moved into our house I have loved our windows. They all have deep window sills that I can place plants on (because I can be a crazy plant lady). After I painted all the window frames white, I felt like the rooms needed more warmth. I immediately thought natural woven shades in a mid-range color would be perfect.

Up until now we have been eating at the peninsula off the kitchen. Here is the dining room/living room space before we moved in.
