Cute Curtains!

Today officially marks the 2 month mark of living in our new house. And by looking at the house, you wouldn't know it. The dining room still has home decor scattered all over the table with totes & a few boxes on the floor. The master bedroom is still un-decorated, as well as the boys rooms. However, most everything is unpacked aside from about 5 boxes total (for the whole house!). Those boxes require a project of some sort in order to utilize what is in the boxes.

But anyway- i say all that, to say that tonight we FINALLY hung the curtains in the kids bedrooms. I am so excited because they turned out so cute! My mom & i (who am i kidding?), i mean, MY MOM, took the curtain from their old room which was a navy panel along with a plain red twin sheet & we made the valances from those two things to coordinate with the colors of their bedding. They both have the same bedding because they were sharing a room with bunk beds that now are un-bunked & in separate rooms. So their rooms look basically the same, but i did want to make them "their own", so i decided to have my sister monogram the curtains so that it would give them a special feeling to their own spaces. (I got this idea from a friend who has her girls' valances monogrammed, so thanks, Mere!) One room has a red top & blue bottom & the other is vice versa. Rebecca got them back to me tonight, so after church we put them up! THe kids were in their jammies, waiting for bedtime, watching us hang a rod & curtain! It was kinda funny, but Randy appeased me & went with it (he knew i was excited!)

Check them out.......... and did i mention that the boys love them!!

Next up.... i need to paint the coordinating pictures that Randy sketched out for me on canvases that also match the print on the bedding. Projects, Projects, will they ever end??
