"In your own home at last!!!" Part 1

Branching off on your own can be a real tough cookie for some persons. You could be a student fresh in college, a single mom, or even someone being told that you need to leave the family home because you are old enough to take care of yourself. What do you do now? How do you survive? These will be at the forefront of your mind.

Searching for and getting an affordable place to live is a great feeling, furnishing it is another set of expenditure. Well not to worry, you WON'T have to break the bank to get that trendy and comfortable look you want.

Take each part of your new home in stages and apply whatever resources you have or can get a hold of to make that area of the house appealing.

Starting off with the Windows:

1. There are many types of curtains ranging from the fanciest to the most simple in nature and so does the cost. Purchase the cheapest one they have. 
2. If the one you have purchased is 'see through' or transparent, measure and cut a piece of white cloth and put it in the middle of the two pieces of curtains. Ensure that you cut a large enough piece of the white cloth so that you can pull the end pieces together in order to reduce the transparency. This will prevent persons from looking in your house from the outside, even though you are able to see them.
3. For a refine look, stitch the two sides of white cloth and also the end of it and make a loop at the top for the curtain rod to through.
