Okay my loves—today I’m back working on my upstairs living space again, and the main issue I had to solve was the windows. When we moved into this house, we already had these beautiful curtains, but they’re honestly just for decoration. And if you know me, you know I’m all about a functional yet very aesthetic home. This isn’t our main living room, but we use it a lot—my kids hang out up here, we charge phones, store things in the seating, and we even use a pull-up projector at night. The problem was all that light coming in during the day made it hard to enjoy the space. So in this refresh, I partnered with Tok Blinds and installed custom motorized roller shades to bring in that modern 2026 look while still keeping things timeless and budget-friendly. I chose a textured white finish to match my neutral modern interior, and I went with the no valance option because I wanted it sleek and clean. I love that one remote can control up to 15 shades, and I can control all five at once or just one at a time—plus I can stop them at any height. They’re rechargeable, and you can even choose solar panels or pair them with Alexa, which makes this upgrade both luxury-looking and real-life practical for a mom of three.
