Call me "Capable Kati"

....or "Bad a$$ blind hanging" Kati as Bill has dubbed me. I took it upon myself to hang a few blinds by myself today.

I gathered my supplies and embarked upon my first solo home project. I didn't end up using the phillips head screwdriver or the level, just the power drill and the measuring tape.

My mission - cover this window! Full disclosure - it didn't start off great. It took me about

15 minutes to realize I needed a small drill bit to "pre drill" the holes for the screws...despite the 

explicit line in the instruction book. #readALLthedirections :)

After a quick trip to Lowes, I got back to work and viola!!!!

I put up my first blind! I also managed to hit my head on that light at least three or

four times in the process. So, I may have a headache tomorrow, but at least I'll have

it with a sense of accomplishment.

Feeling confident about my first attempt, I moved things along and put blinds up in the
2 bedrooms downstairs as well. Honestly, once I got the hang of things, it was an easy install
project. I'm hardly a pro with the power drill, but I feel much more comfortable using it now.

I have faux wood blinds to tackle next - those are for the dining, office and breakfast nook
windows. They are a bit on the heavy side, so I'll probably need some help to get those done.
I'll let you know how it goes!
