A few pics for you Mom...

I hung our bedroom curtains last night...I have been looking for a set that I liked and we all know how difficult that can be. I found some and bought them last week with a rod set as well. I hate putting up those rods...this one was even more aggravating. You can't ever get those silly plastic drywall anchors in the wall, but luckily the screws were long enough that they were anchored into some wood or something in there because they were a pain to screw/drill in the last 3/4 of an inch!

The poor curtains need to hand a little while and relax some before I can really rearrange them...yeah I probably should have ironed them out a bit, but at 11 pm when one is finally through with the rod placement, one has a tendency to just want the stinking curtains up there and off the bed so she can go to bed herself!

So here they are along with the quilt I bought last year. Oh and Steve actually likes these! But then I have told him many times that florals and stripes are nice together (we had this same discussion when looking at couch fabrics earlier this year).
Oh and this watercolor painting is hanging above my bed. It was a wedding present from our Austrian exchange student-who is like a brother now, he's been over here so much. This was a view I enjoyed seeing when I visited him at his home for a month before I graduated high school. It was amazing there! I recently had it rematted and framed...I'm glad I did. I never really liked the old framing I had done on it...actually it was hideous! I wish I could get a better closeup of it...the detail is amazing.
