Aimless Tangents

I finally got the window trim in the bedroom painted white.  Yes, it is taking forever.  Mostly because I am at the stage where the project is no longer fun with big impact and it is the tedious stuff left to do.  That always takes longer.  And painting trim is just not fun.  Toss in a bad gallon of paint and well, we are still living with minty green trim and doors along with Frog Tape in strategic places.  I’m making in-roads though, and have vowed to have the painting done by the end of the month.

With the window trim painted white I decided it was time to hang the new curtain hardware.  The existing hardware was bent and didn’t work very well for the drop cloth curtains I’ve made.  This is where you come in.  I’ve got two styles of curtain to work with.

Plain:

Folded over:

Here they are together, partially open.

Together, closed.

Tomorrow I’m hanging blinds and getting rid of the remaining old hardware (see the gold hook in the middle of the trim?  Yeah, those.)  The blinds are red mahogany wood blinds and they will block a lot of the light.  This is a very good thing since Oklahoma is already hitting the 80s and we aren’t even out of April yet.  This does not bode well for my electricity bill come July/August.

The Hubs likes one of the curtains, I like the other.  Unless I get a lot of people telling me “Ew, yuck don’t hang up those!” I’ll probably just end up doing them both the way I like.
