You're house is looking beautiful...Thanks LuLu! You're house is looking beautiful as well! We locked in our rate on Tuesday, so really recently. We're predicting rates will be going up though because of the PIMCO situation.<br /><br />There are so many things to remember isn't there? I'm like "crap .. I did not budget for all of this!" haha! We were reminded about the garage door opener when we saw that one was installed in our garage - we thought we'd be able to keep it but it was gone the next time we stopped over :(<br />Haha Loving our mailbox!LaurLewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859351088653575241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954139271301354138.post-90375988841328471472014-10-03T05:36:03.599-07:002014-10-03T05:36:03.599-07:00I know! $800!

We're going to go to Lowes at some point and look at what they have to offer (we're running out of time!). $15 a window is actually really good! I would have someone instal it for that too! Not worth the headache especially since you'll be busy doing a ton of other stuff for the house!<br /><br />I'll definitely do posts with that kind of stuff included. Our schedules are so packed the next few weeks that we may not have time (or money) to get blinds until after we move in, but I plan on doing some posts after that anyways!LaurLewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859351088653575241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954139271301354138.post-24810496634277703962014-10-02T11:20:12.828-07:002014-10-02T11:20:12.828-07:00$800 PER window? Oh Em Gee! Yes, that is a prett...$800 PER window? Oh Em Gee! Yes, that is a pretty penny! I was curious because we went to visit our community and by the time we arrived, it was dark. I was amazed at how many homes lacked window treatment. Our broker told us to make sure we have that figured out first. I too love the look of the shutter blinds but also realize the pain they will cause when I have to dust them. I think we are going to go with faux wood ones (probably a white color). They were not very expensive and the installation was so cheap ($15 per window). This is probably something we can tackle but we figured we would let the pro do it and it would be less time and possible headaches for us. <br />I hope you do a post on good stuff you find or what you ultimately decide to go with!

We didn't get down to 4%, we're at 4.375% I think. <br />We also need to look for blinds and a garage door opener - thanks for that reminder, I had forgotten!!! I've been focused on décor' and furniture!<br />That's one pretty mailbox too!!!LuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322816597717957104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954139271301354138.post-26085438090717543932014-10-02T10:18:21.694-07:002014-10-02T10:18:21.694-07:00I know! We're crazy close!
We're not sur...I know! We're crazy close! <br /><br />We're not sure about the blinds yet. We went to Avalon to look at their custom blinds and we found ones we LOVE but they would be about $800 a window! That is not something we can afford right now sooo we're going to try lowes. I like cloth material shades because it seems like they'd stay cleaner than the shutter like shades. I like the look of shutter shades but I just think of all the dust collecting on them and how annoying they are to clean. Lowes is having a sale on shades so we might pop over there to take a look. If we don't find anything we really like we'll just end up getting a basic one for the powder room window for now so no one can see in when someone's doing their business!
