It’s your favorite time of the month again. All the money that you’ve been working so hard to accumulate gets to go towards precious bills. Yes!
As you work your way through payments, you get to electric. You realize it’s higher than usual for this month, and it’s taking away funds from your “Bahama’s Trip” jar. 

That’s the last thing you need on this super cold snow day. You look out the window into the winter wonderland and dream of blue oceans and beach air. 
That’s when you notice the crack in your window. Of course your electric is higher this month! All that expensive warm air is slipping through the crack, just like your dreams of a beach getaway. 

Adequately treated windows can lower the costs of your electric bills during the cold months. When temperature drops, and the wind chill is bone crushing cold window treatments can make all the difference in the heating of your home. 
Perhaps all this beach dreaming is getting you carried away, and you’re ready for an entire home makeover to flip your house into the beach home of your dreams. 

There’s help for that too!

Ever been searching around Pinterest for some fun and easy ways to decorate or change up things around your house? It’s a great website for DYI projects and stylish ideas. Most of the time the website even provides step-by-step directions, so that your final piece perfectly resembles the one in the picture. But let’s be honest, how often does that happen? Obviously the person that came up with this creative, crafty idea is pretty artistic, but that doesn’t mean you possess that same artistic gene! Okay, so maybe it’s not that hard when you’re making a wreath out of cranberries for the holidays, or turning an old window seal into a picture frame. But what if you’re looking for ways to make your own chandelier out of a broken mirror, or create your own shutters from some rustic pieces of barn wood? Hm, not as easy peasy as those 1,2, 3 steps make it sound is it?

Not to mention when it comes to a handy man project like this there is no doubt there will be many more than three easy steps. First you’ll have to measure your windows, and make sure you saw the pieces of wood to perfectly fit each one. Then you’ll have to strip the old, chipping paint and sand down those splintering pieces of barn wood before you can even begin your actual project. Painting is the fun part, but you’ll have to find the exact color, order it, pick it up, and buy the right brushes. Gosh, it seems like that was a lot of work for what Pinterest made seem like such a simple project, and you aren’t even half way done yet! Just because you’re homemade shutters somewhat resemble that pretty Pinterest picture doesn’t mean they’ll just jump onto the house themselves!

I guess you could spend hours watching YouTube videos, pausing the demonstration every 30 seconds trying to follow along with this probably very experienced instructor. It will be ten minutes into the video before you realize you have the wrong size screws and/or screw driver. Even a five-minute video could have your head spinning after you’ve watched it 12 times!  If you’re really lucky your husband may be able to figure it out, but that doesn’t mean the installation will withstand even the first sizable thunderstorm that comes your way.
