"My name is Craig Hale, decorator and I am helping my friend Paige remodel and redecorate her office. One of the things that we are going to do is get rid of these curtains. The main reason is that they stick out a good 5 inches from the window and we are already short on space because this is actually going to be for the desk and the computer equipment is going to be. So we've got a limited amount of space and this extra 6 inches that we are having to come away from the wall is valuable 6 inches that we can use to open up the space by getting it closer to the window. So what we are going to do is pull these curtain rods down and because there is a house next door, we need some privacy, need light control because of the computer equipment and the computer monitor. What we are going to do is inside mount some wood blinds. One of the things that is really great about the wood blinds is that it is going to help warm the room up a little bit and it is also going to able to completely block this off in the evenings when you need to have privacy. Also, it is going to allow us to gain 6 inches of space on this wall so we can put the computer desk a little bit closer where we want have to worry so much about the cords and fighting with the curtains.
