Privacy at night

Our apartment is furnished, we have sheer curtains at the three front room windows.  One privacy drape on one window.   The yellow on the right, it is thumbtacked to the window frame.
There is a small window above the privacy drape and it's pleasant to have the outside light.

The lovely pink and yellow sheet was provided by our landlord for our bed.  Wow, it is not very soft so I figured it would work for privacy. and it does of  sort.

So I decided to have some privacy curtain made, I didn't know how I was to hang them, perhaps with thumbtacks.   Since the window on the right is really two windows, I thought I would leave the top open for natural lights.  

This hair clip worked great to open the curtain during the day.  

So off to the drapery store, well, I forgot that you buy the entire swatch of fabric where you need it or not.   It's ok I have a bunch left over to make matching pillows and cold air blocking tubes.

I have to admit thumbtacks look like a solution to allow my curtains to be open or close and open the windows in the summer if I want.

Hard to see, they are sage green, I know am quite sophiscated and tye the up during the day with a matching green ribbon, and let them down at night.

Hey Martha Stewart couldn't have done much better by herself without her bevy of support staff.  

I thought you would enjoy seeing our high tech clothes dryer too.   It's called live with your laundry because we at least have a washing machine in house. 

Truly I am not complaining.  Others might hang their clothes outside, I don't wish to subject my clothes to frostbite, I am happy to have them inside.
