Spruce Up Your Windows With These Creative, Affordable Window Treatment Ideas

If you’re looking for an alternative to the usual heavy drapes or vertical blinds for your apartment at Jefferson Marketplace, these unique and affordable ideas just may be the answer.

Stick-On Window Coverings
If you’re looking for a truly creative window treatment alterative that still blocks out glaring sunlight, try frosted window stickers. This fun and modern DIY project shows you how to create your own choice of pattern, and best of all, it comes right off when it’s time to move out.

Coffee Sack Curtains
If your style is more rustic and antique-inspired, create your own affordable curtains using recycled coffee sacks. Because the sacks are supposed to have a bit of a rough edge, there’s absolutely no sewing required for this simple project.

Flower Chain Curtains
For fans of all things bohemian, this simple DIY project is the perfect choice. Simply string faux flowers to clear fishing thread, and then tie a row of 10 or so across a slender curtain rod. This one is ideal for anyone looking to create a bit of privacy without blocking out too much sunlight.

Cupcake Cam Launches Contest To Win Free D.C. Pastries

A new web cam launched today that isn't for the birds. In a delectable deal, cupcake connoisseurs can watch Georgetown Cupcake employees package their beloved pastries for a chance to win a dozen.
The cupcakery's contest began this morning. Since then, employees have been sporadically planting easter eggs in the shop's to-go boxes. If a person spots an egg, the company tells them to take a screenshot and post it to social media using the tags #CupcakeCam and #Contest.

The contest ends tomorrow at 9 p.m. TLC, the network that runs the show DC Cupcake, will pick the winner.
