curtain call!

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a nice, fun, cool weekend. We actually had a very productive weekend. We did some things around the house that we’ve been meaning to do since we moved in and it feels awesome to be able to check it off. I feel like I still need about 5 more weekends like that but I’ll take what I can get for now. The thing that we did this past weekend that I’m most excited about is.. we hung curtains on the back door! RC’s mom has been working on the curtains for the back door for a couple of months now. She volunteered to make the Roman Shades and I have a feeling that when she volunteered she didn’t know how much work it would actually be. They look AH.MAZE.ING. They really finish off the room perfectly. As I’m sure you remember, the back door looked like this…

old pic, but you get the idea



see all the light!?

It was fabulous for light but at night it wasn’t so fabulous when our neighbors can see right in, ya feel me?  RC’s mom not only sewed the curtains she also came over to put them up! RC’s dad same as well and we couldn’t have done it without them! I'm pretty sure we would have yelled at each other, the curtains would have been thrown across the room and then someone would have cried. That's usually how those things end.. tears..usually his. Instead, it was a glorious experience. Granted, I was the one standing back, taking pictures, making guacamole and giving Tucker treats. (i win) I would wager a bet that if you asked any of the 2 that did the work, (RC doesn't count here) they wouldn't have the same fond memories.



RC has this handy dandy tool that my dad gave him that sticks to the walls and shoots a laser beam across the wall so you have a perfectly straight line. BOOM!

Had to. Sorry. So yeah, this laser shoots across the wall and you can hang things perfectly, and that they did!

After some hanging, some adjusting, some guacamole, the curtains/shades were hung and looking amazeballs

.  

I just love it. Love. Love. Loooove. Now I can eat ice cream at 10pm and not think my neighbors behind us are judging me! Oh, and remember how I was bragging about how handy dandy that wall sticky thing is? Well we were doing the same exact thing yesterday when we were hanging the curtains and when we went to take it off the wall, this is what happened..

stupid drywall

Typical. We’ve used it 100x before and the one time we use it in front of other people it screws up. Now you know what the next post will be about..  

Thanks again to RC's parents we appreciate all of your help!!!
