BLINDS!!!!

Here we are 4 weeks to the day living in our house and we FINALLY got our blinds installed. We did not know it would take a month to have blinds put up :( It did however take us a week before we decided on what blinds we wanted and then after canceling them through Home Depot when we found out it would take three weeks. We felt we should go with a referred friend from our new to be neighbors. When he came to measure our windows he did not have the selection or shall I say the exact blinds we wanted that we saw at Home Depot. I was willing to pick ones that I did not want if we needed to purchase them through this gentlemen for whatever reason but he meet up with us at work the following day to show us some additional options. We found the color we wanted but they were the wood wood ones and not the faux wood blinds. Therefore the price went up :( We decided to go with the dark walnut wood blinds everywhere accept the kitchen and the front door side window. Those we replaced with the white faux wood blinds. Well we were on track for a week in a half to find out that when that time came, he forgot to put a return address on the order. This caused the blinds to be put on hold and then mailed at a "rush". The "rush" still took 7 additional days... so it was a disappointment when we were rescheduled for a third time when we were informed of his prior commitments that occupied the following 2 days after they were delivered :(

Once the day came a whole month later, we were so thrilled to have our blinds that I did not care that we had to wait so long lol! I was able to pull down the news paper ha ha and we gladly helped bring in all the stuff to and from his vehicle...Not to mention breaking down the boxes and putting them in the recycling bin which he seemed to be overly grateful for! As he was hanging up the blinds we noticed pretty quickly that he purchased the wrong ones but we did not say a thing because we were afraid he would take them back! It was not a big deal other than we wanted the privacy ones without the holes but I or Chris said that we were going to complain because we felt like our house was finally "complete" in a way that we aren't in a fish bowl lol! All in all we are thrilled to have our blinds!!!
