What the heck

The neighbors were setting off fireworks after the end of the game last night, so I dealt with the 2 roller shades and the curtain rod at about 10:30.
Something to note! In the kitchen, I'd replaced one roller shade (black out weight) with one from Lowe's. Then last night, I installed a new one over the kitchen sink that I got from Home Depot. At night, there's no difference. When it's light out, the Lowe's brand shade has a blueish tone while the Home Depot shade has a reddish tone. I work in print production. I know vinyl can carry different temperatures. I just didn't expect it in window shades for some reason, but I'm not surprised.
I'm going to see if I can move one of the kitchen shades to the stand-alone window in the upstairs hallway so that at least all the tones in a given room match. The whole house doesn't have to be match-y, but at least all in the same room should. My preference is for the cool tones from Lowes.

This morning I was hit with a wild hair - I wanted to know what was behind the mirror left behind by the Fords, screwed to the wall in the dining room.
I was hoping for something interesting.
A hole to access long-forgotten plumbing or electrical?
A gap to see the framing?
Buried treasure?
I got out my trusty screw gun, (let's not kid, I hadn't actually put it away), and got that sucker off the wall.
Pooh.
Nothing. Nada.
Just 4 little drywall screw holes (now).
Oh well.
I might just put it back up for now. It's an appropriate piece for the house.
But I was pretty disappointed in the lack of... anything.
