Curtains

Dirty blinds.  Dirty cord on the left.





Slippery Slope:  I now know the meaning of that.












Before 





Washing windows meant cleaning the floor meant painting the walls meant painting the ceiling meant painting the woodwork meant getting rid of the mini blinds.





Old mini-bling hardware removed.
Ready for sanding, filling the localized painting







Some measuring and a rather quick trip to my favorite store meant that some stitching, some ironing, some removing of old dirty blinds, some hole filling, some touch up painting, some drilling, some attaching were all Things I get to do today.





Curtains at night
Curtains in daylight













The end result feels great, and it feels like it is the bottom of the slope, which would be the end, as in "Curtains."

  1. Are you sure you're done? No slipcovers? Maybe a tea cozy.

    Nice job.

    1. Well, I had thought about the the tea cozy. And one of the chairs could be recovered. Maybe the carpet could be replaced.

      But for now, thanks! I think it is done.

    1. I'm headed to the softest chair I can find. Maybe I'll curl up in it and take a nap. It took some time, but it was really fun, too!
