My
raffrollos are! My
raffrollos are here! (aka roman shades). I ordered them from
Gudren Sjoeden last month and I nearly kissed the delivery man when they arrived this morning.
I can't wait to hang them, but since the walls are cement I need to go to the hardware store to buy nails that can penetrate cement blocks (I only have wood nails). One advantage of cement walls: total privacy. I barely ever hear my neighbors. Downside: I have to use special nails and I need to drill almost everything and it's a lot of work to drill into cement. Thankfully Thorsten handles installation around here. I just hold up stuff and point. :) But I had to drill one day and my arm nearly fell off. When the raffrollos are up I'll share a photo. I'm thinking later today perhaps?
I've had nothing on my windows since moving here August 8th, the pine trees outside of my window have done a nice job at keeping me relatively comfortable at night as they are a good source of privacy... but it will be nice to have proper window treatments. Now I can run naked from room to room! Weeeeeee! Just kidding. Never. :) I wouldn't say these rollos are that private though as they are pretty sheer, but at least they make the window look a little more spruced up and not as boring.
So local shoppers... Add Scandinavian company
Gudren Sjoeden as another source for shopping here in Germany. They threw in a free cosmetics bag with my purchase, so I can't complain about having to wait 3 weeks for the rollos. ;)

Not so important... but still.

Great window coverings although when you said lavender silk shantung I nearly had palpitations...such gorgeousness but true at quite a price there
Well, I can easily admit to having been seen naked by most of neighbours. At least that is what I assume, I haven't really seen them looking, but I walk around in my birthday suit all the time, and I have no curtains. *lol*
I'm trying to get rid of that habit now though, as I stay at my boyfriends house a lot, and he shares it with his brother, who is probably not so keen at seeing my privates over breakfast...
