Does It Take 2 Months To Put Up Curtains?

Yes, this time it did...

 

Well, it's about time.

lol

I had a lot of time pass

since I bought the new white sheers 

which weren't even destined 

for this room

and

the Black Floral semi-sheers

that were intentional

&

of course 

my thought was 

what if

lets try it

and I liked the first two I put up

so 

I started 

in March...

I had a set back

still in the throws of grief

as one does...

&

all of the motivation left

along with

a wee health scare

all turned out well

& 

you'd think 

that you could 

just

pick up 

where you left off

but 

I sank

I found a bottom

that I wasn't expecting

Now 

I have a piece 

of my clarity back

&

 its building again

with a stronger 

material 

backed with

a firmer foundation

and a side order of 

big dreams 

on my horizon...

I've successfully

 edited down 

the amount of stuff 

to get things feeling more restful

& 

give me room 

to get these babies 

up high...

And I am mixing paint samples 

to see how they look

in the new 

light values...

when I say the budget is tight...

well

I'm custom mixing our wall colors

thanks to

 how many windows we have

it does break it up

making it

easy 

to work for us

and 

of course

my 

love 

of paint 

factors in 

big time...

but

wait 

what's this...

the second pack of sheers

has a different pocket setup 

on the top?

and 

they 

hang 

lower...?!!!!

see

the first pack 

hangs perfectly...

the first pack 

has three pockets 

to choose from

making it easy 

to use 

in a variety of rooms 

and

window situations...

the second pack...

why?

ok...

I have options here...

all is not truly lost.

but still...?

if ordered at the same time

why...

I mean 

I will 

probably change this out... 

&

this particular window 

will

have the air conditioner set up 

in just another week or two...

so 

this curtain will get a tie back...

but

where did it all go wrong?

honestly 

its just the quirky 

reminder that 

~Perfection

is really 

just 

a shift 

in Perspective 

away~

&

its actually quite funny

X-D

& 

there is always 

a nice mess 

to clear up

after 

all the tweaks 

twists

and 

turns...

but this lil guy

had fun watching me toil...

so cute

it wasn't so bad 

looking at this for two months

Before I started the editing process

there were 

so many 

extra bits

pillows

laundry 

furniture

etc...

and  

there is always still

a considerable amount

of editing to go

all in all

I like where all of this

is headed.

this strip everything back to start fresh 

is kind of 

my favorite thing...

&

How fun

the resulting

New Curtains!

If you are curious

I did buy them all on the Amazon

because we had a real need for more light filtering

and we were on a super tight budget...

I do not have an affiliate link,

but

I will tell you that they cost $28.99 per pair

currently

and they are 52inches wide by 95 long

my search was for "Black Lace Curtains"

and these floral ones came up...

I won't really get into the white layer of sheers

because

who knows what would show up 

if you ordered them?

curtain lottery 

am I right?

I definitely 

consider 

finding the black florals 

a stroke of luck

you never know

 what you'll find out there

kind of random

but sometimes nice 

when you have one idea

and another 

just stops you 

in your tracks...

That is 

happening a lot lately

;-)

Is this where I'm supposed to write...

Stay Tuned...?

Mayhaps...
