Easy no sew Roman Shades

I just finished hanging my new Roman Shades in my kitchen! The windows in there had been bare for years and honestly, my neighbors were starting to complain. You see, when you look out of my kitchen windows you see my neighbor's house and driveway. There's no buffer zone between our homes.

When deciding on the actual wall color I picked the one in the middle. You will have to check out her blog for the step-by-step tutorial. Here are the finished results . . .
