I decided to deep clean on saturday morning while some dudes were here replacing my shed door. It looks really great they did a good job as did I with the deep clean. I decided to make a quick run to Big Lots to "look" for some curtains for the bedroom. This is when the wild hair sprouted and I just couldn't help it. I found the best blackout curtains for $13 each panel. I loved them so much I decided to use them in the living room instead and go back and purchase the dark brown mocha color for my bedroom.
But, it didn't stop there.
I went home and switched out this ugly wild rose curtain rod in the living room with the more modern style that was in the bedroom. I loved the way they looked but I thought if I am really going to do this I am going to do it right.
Sunday, I decided the million and a half holes around the existing slider doors needed to be patched, sanded, and painted. So, I did the patching, took a nap by the pool, and then sanded and painted. It looked beautiful!
But, it didn't stop there either.
Happy with my patch job and not wanting to rehang the old rods, I remembered JC Penny had a sale on curtains and rods, I should go "look". I already had in mind what I was looking for, mother of pearl ball ends with a golden rod to match the gold frame above the bed.
Bingo! They had them and they were 40% off! Score. And I picked up these rad clip rings to hang them by so the slide all rich along the rod.
I get home too late to hang them, I have to leave for church,
now, it's Monday and I am tired and I have to hang curtains.
Dang it.
No power tools...just a girl, a screwdriver, a tape measure, mathematical calculations, and a whole lot of gumption, I get to work.
While hanging them and trying not to curse, I decided that there HAS to be a special place in hell where jerks with little patience (example the d-bags who cut you off on the freeway and them slam on their breaks in horrible traffic because they are more important than you and in more of a hurry) and they are forced to spend eternity hanging curtains. Dante must of missed that level in Dante's inferno.
But alas, I conquered the curtains. I stepped off the step latter took a look from a far and said something to the extent of, "Awhhhh shit! Yup, I did that. And didn't need no mans help neither. Uh huh!" haha!
It felt so dang good!
Dark mocha brown with a linen look and a blackout backing curtain and you can kind of see the rod.
Oh yeah I forgot to add that I needed to do it TWICE! Ah!
Don't they look great?
