Duette Architella honeycomb shades makes the Arctic Blast bearable

I am so glad I put Duette Architella honeycomb shades in my bedroom!
Did you enjoy the Arctic Blast we had earlier this week? I’m not a fan of cold weather- at all. And several days in a row of sub freezing temperatures sucks. But thankfully my house stayed nice a comfortable during the blast, in part due to the Duette Architella honeycomb shades in my windows.
The first morning of freezing temps, I opened up my shades to find ice on the INSIDE of my window sills. We have a lot of condensation form on our windows (thanks to the builder for putting in cheep windows) and it got so cold, that the condensation froze inside my room. But fortunately, I had my Duette shades with the double cell in cell insulating pulled all the way down, and it kept all that freezing temperature out of my room. So the space between the glass and the shade was below freezing and formed ice on my window sills, but the interior side of the shades was nice and comfortable. When I pulled the shades up and looked outside, I could feel a very noticeable cold emanating from the windows. Burr!
Here are some pics of ice inside my window sills!

a wall of windows is not good insulation for the bedroom, so I put in Duette honeycomb shades
