Well this afternoon sure has been fun. I did that thing where I say... "this will only take five minutes..." then, hours later we are still working on a project. But I am not sad I did this today. Have you ever had one of those moments where you think if I have to look at something for one more minute I will scream? Well I have. And it involved curtains and dining room chairs. First, I should mention that we finally got our new couch!! And I am obsessed and love it. Here she is in all her glory!

| Um. Love. |
Now. Please look to the right of the couch. Your right, its left. and notice the curtain... The one inch too short. 7th grade high-water pants. Channeling Steve Urkel curtains. They HAD to go. But I am cheap and I figure that with all that pinterest reading I should put some to use. So, I made curtain skirts. And I have to say it was really easy (because I used no sew bonding) and they are remarkably sturdy. Here is an after shot.
Much better. We raised the curtain rod about a foot and it makes the window look so much better. And the fabric adds a little fun color. Next, we recovered our dining room chairs that are in the big room. Bubba took off the old, awful fabric, and I whipped out the staple gun for some aggression therapy... I mean re-upholstering. They look swell now. Nothing fancy, just not stained and creepy anymore.
I think that these projects have done me in for the day. Nap time? I believe so. But I now am much happier. Time to park it on the new red couch.
