Curtains

I was just looking at my curtains in here and thinking they could be replaced. They have been up for 8 years now and they are showing the wear. It might be nice to do something completely different with the windows. Perhaps valances or another color. I have white everywhere except the kitchen has a bit of yellow design. I like the light color but maybe a light blue or green or something different. They say it is good for your moral to change your carpet every 7 or 8 years. I think that is a good idea if you can afford it. I know it makes me feel good to change something in the house, be it curtains, rugs, or furniture.
