One of the challenges of this transient lifestyle is coming up with creative solutions for each unique house we live in. Our current dilemma - how to cover the windows in the lanai.
I haven't had a problem leaving those lovely louvered windows bare until just recently. I love the greenery of the yard. But after a neighbor applauded our pajama karaoke session - I figured it was time to come up with a plan.
Only 7 months left with these windows - so I wanted to keep the budget . . . .well basically at $0.
Madi and I rummaged around Constance.
In keeping with the island feel, we came up with grass mats (like the kind from the ABC Store). We jimmied them up and and tried rolling them up each morning with ribbon I had sewn on - but that was getting old and the mats weren't holding together very well.
Enter Plan B . . . .
We succumbed to spending the $12 for mini blinds and $5 on new grass mats at the B/X.
Who knows - we may just splurge on a tiny bit of trim/bling. If not - I'll be o.k.
Not too shabby!

What a neat idea, I love the look and texture of the grass mats.
You're creative...and resourceful, Chan. Although I don't think you should be ashamed to karaoke in your PJ's for the neighbors!...just leave the coconut shells in the bedroom (hee hee)!!!
