Stupid Curtains

I asked Nate what I should title this post…and there you have it…

For my new readers, I have been waiting on West Elm's Opaque Linen Pole-Pocket Panels for 2 months.  You can read about my impatience here, here, and here.

They finally arrived 2 weeks ago.  We were busy doing yard work last week-end and didn’t get them hung.  It just about killed me.  Seriously.

This week-end it decided to snow (awesome) so I am happy to report that they are now hanging beautifully in our bedroom. I wish I had some better lighting this morning.  It was gloomy yesterday so I waited in hopes of some sun but still gloom.  They are talking 12 straight days of significant rainfall. Go Iowa.  I also really need to learn how to use our DSLR….and get rid of that ceiling fan…

 

 

I like how they soften the room but don’t disturb the view.  I think they are perfect (but not perfectly fluffed yet).  I’d almost say that they were worth the wait but I won’t go that far.  My impatient side won’t let me. I did get 5% cash back from the wait though (my credit card started offering 5% cash back on purchases at home stores…awesome!).

Anyone else have a husband who loves hanging curtains?  Who can convince Nate that the ceiling fan must go?

Did you notice our curtain rods?  We made them ourselves….more on that tomorrow!

Pinterest Anonymous

Hi.  My name is Michelle.  I am a Pinterest addict.

Pinterest is a website where you can create a virtual pinboard that stores all of your favorite ideas.  I am cleaning out my “bookmarks” and “pinning” every craft idea and room inspiration photo that I have on my computer. 

I think this site will be extremely useful for meal planning or helping me decide what craft project to tackle next……if I can pull myself away from the computer that is. 

The site is currently by invitation only but I received an instant invitation from here. (Scroll down to the very bottom!)  I am warning you that this is a giant time suck….seriously.  Consider yourself warned.

Follow me at http://pinterest.com/decorandthedog/. I’m excited to see what inspires you!
