My Future's So Bright...

I have this window on the west wall, and just about dinner time it let's in enough light that diners on one side of the table have to wear shades.  So, instead of keeping extra Ray-Bans around, I thought I would make a bit of a shade for that window.  I had some leftover burlap that I used for lath for earthen plaster and thought that it might make a great shade. Burlap is "in" now, did you know that?  Look here, here, and here.  For once, I'm "in".

So, I went to our SAS, Fabric by the Pound place and bought a whole card (several yards) of trim for 4 bucks,

and some hook and loop for .65, plugged in the glue gun, and Voila!  (I refuse to say wa la)
