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...
