They Are Finally Up!

It is hard to believe that it has been almost a month since our move.
It is also a short month. My dear Mr. Darling is still recovering from
his ankle sprain and was unable to hang my curtain rod...
So our friend Kenny came over and hung it for me!!!
Except, it wasn't ready for the curtains. I had to sew them up first.
Well, you know I ended up really sick this last week.
So the window has been wide open and empty all this time.

I couldn't seem to find any draperies I liked store bought.
I looked and looked and knew I was also on a budget.
Curtains can be expensive...
and now a days they only sell you one panel per package.
As I was browsing around I saw a happy checkered
table cloth by Better Homes And Gardens.
I really liked it, but not for a table.
My little mind was thinking...curtains!
And it was on clearance!!!!
So there you have it... I cut it in half, sewed in a rod pocket
and paired them with some creamy sheers I also found on clearance!
The whole project cost less than $30.00.

I finally felt better enough to put them together and hang them up today.
What a difference window treatments make to a room!!!
It feels so cozy.
And, I love how it looks with my little lamps and
my antique rocking chair which was given to me from my Step Mama...
which belonged to her Grandmother.
I am honored to have it as my own.

Now it's a cozy little corner next to our
little vintage children book collection.
I will share more little corners of our home soon!
Have a Happy Day!
