Storm's about gone....

We got 3.5", give or take a few tenths. The wind is blowing. White caps on the lake. And, we can see more of it than we did a month ago. Eventually, the leaves will be gone and we'll see lots more lake. It will also be a lot colder! When the wind blows across the lake, it is VERY cold when we step out into an open area.

French Door Curtains, Done...

They're perfect for our little cabin on the lake.

French Door Curtains, Part 2...

Oh! My Goodness!!! I love it!!! I even like the darker hardware.
Now, for the other side.

French door curtains...

I spent a couple hours at Lowes this evening, going through their curtain rod collections. Found ones for both doors and the windows over the bookcases. But they didn't have anything long enough for the two sets of windows in the sunroom. I'll look online tomorrow. I want to get as much done tonight as possible.

It's supposed to start raining tomorrow afternoon and start cooling off. Something like 38 degrees Monday morning. I have to move all my plants inside the house or someplace where they won't get too cold. Enough for now. I need to get the rods and hanging rings up.

One Window in the Bathroom...

The glass in the window in textured, so we can't see out, but more importantly, no one can see in. The white semi-sheers are all I want in here. Unless... I decide to add a valance that matches the bedroom drapes.
The curtain rods/hardware came from Lowes. These didn't take nearly as long to put up. David's drill is making it much easier and faster.

One more window...

Last night I put up one more curtain before quitting. They look even better in the daylight! I still have a bit of tweaking to do, but I'm very pleased! And calling these "almost done". 😜
I am thoroughly in love with the semi-sheers!!! They're linen and polyester blend. And they're washable!

One window done.

I love the way these curtains look! But I do need more clips. And I didn't measure as well as I thought I did. Should have been about an inch higher. I may wait til tomorrow to rehang them.

Curtains are here!!!

Our mail carrier, Marilyn, delivered the two boxes today from Country Curtains.com. Here's the pile after I emptied the boxes in the floor.

Ok. The photo is curtain rods and a few curtains on the bed. My phone won't let me use photos stored on it. I have to take a photo when posting here on my blog iron Facebook. Will have to do some research on that.

I'll post more later.
