Curtainworks Review and Giveaway

Old Valance

I’ve been wanting to update my living room window treatments for a long time but I didn’t think I could afford it. When Curtainworks.com asked me to review their products I was excited, and impressed by their selection of colors and styles as well as their prices.

Curtainworks’ user-friendly website allows you to search by style, and then refine your search by color, material, function, length and price. The prices start at $19.99 and go up. After spending a considerable amount of time on the website searching for the right curtains for my living room I chose the Sailcloth Cotton Canvas Wide Grommet Panel in Cinnabar.

New Curtains

I am amazed at what a difference new curtains make in a room! I love the color and texture of the curtains and they really warm up this very bland room, what do you think? Would you like some new curtains? Curtainworks.com would like to give one lucky reader of The Mom Maven their own new curtains!

The Boy’s Room Needs a Makeover

My sons are now 14 and 16 and starting 10th and 12th grade. They share a small 10×10′ bedroom and let me tell you it is tight in there. The last time we overhauled their bedroom was in April of 2004. It was actually a lot of fun. The boys went away on a 3 day camping trip with Royal Rangers and hubby and I did a “While You Were Out” makeover. We painted the walls and even built bunk beds. Yes, I did say built, I found plans for super sturdy bunk beds online, downloaded the plans and built the bed. The room has a NASCAR theme.

Here are some “then” photos:

Now fast forward 5 years and my boys look like this:

When I heard that Walmart is working with Dr Mommy, Military_Mom,CraftyMamaof4,OrganizewithSandy and others to give away $500 Walmart gift cards to be used on Walmart’s Your Zone teen products I knew we needed to enter this contest. I gave my Creative Vado HD to my 16yo videographer and told him to make the video portion of our entry. Here is what he did.
Jordan is all about anything with orange in it so this is the comforter set he has chosen for the top bunk.
Aaron is less picky and just wants a “teen” room so he has chosen this comforter. I like how everything coordinates!
