the window, the window, the second story window...

i have finally figured out the trick to
before & after posts...
don't post the before until you have an after!
oh!
this is going to change everything for me!
everything!
no more guilt!
no more half done projects!
no more pressure!
okay, crazy...
not really everything
but i do feel like i've found the golden ticket!
onward!

the man i share a room with
(aka my husband)
asked me the other day
if we could perhaps get a new curtain in our bathroom?
i'm not sure what he's talking about
or when he became a decorator
but whatever...

before:

the complicated choice with this particular drapery decision
was green side of fleece baby blanket
or patterned side that says 'i love my toys'
(stop smirking)
the thing that makes it even more complicated is
whichever side we chose for our bathroom
the opposite side faced the driveway for all to see
but we went for green on our side
so that we could feel like adults
even if all of our neighbors
begged to differ...

after...

holy cuteness, right?
i mean in comparison
it's like the difference between
fleece & eyelet
oh wait
it is the difference between fleece & eyelet...

i was going to hang the piece of fabric on an actual curtain rod
that i bought at goodwill for 99cents
score!
EXCEPT it was too short
so not really a score...
three tacks worked just as well
which probably cost 9cents
score! sort of...

the fabric i got at a garage sale for $1
& i love it...
so sweet!

& now onto the empty bookshelf
menacingly sitting in the corner of our bedroom
but you won't see the before's
until i take pictures of the afters...
that's a promise.

:)

ps brian, dear brian
didn't even notice the new curtain
but honestly that is such a blessing
to me the half-finished-projects-all-over-the-house girl...
& when i do point out what i've done
he reacts & oo's & ah's appropriately...
good match :)
