It's a little hard to believe that summer is STILL going strong...but it is and I love it. I try and go on a walk everyday because I know soon I will be stuck inside.
Just me and podcasts make for great evening walks. (I'm obsessed with Stuff You Should Know & Stuff You Missed In History Class. OBSESSED!)
Of course I'm still working on my house, this week was curtains :) after hanging them in the bedroom I had a marathon curtain making/ curtain hanging session Tuesday. I was DETERMINED to get them up and done. I hung the curtain rods (which isn't HARD, but is time consuming) then I actually made the curtains. I have been looking for plain white curtains for awhile, but they are so expensive and on principle I refuse to pay $40/window for curtains! That's insane! When I was at Ikea last weekend I was on the hunt for some cheap ones... but then ended up finding white full sheets for $4/each instead. I figured I could make curtains myself, and with some no-sew hemming tape, and an iron gifted to me by a friend I think I made some cute curtains!
For curtain rods + curtains for all 4 windows in my house I paid... $65. I actually LOVE them and think the make it look much more homey. Also I now feel like I can open my windows, shut my curtains and let air into my house, which is a plus.
I want to post pictures of my whole house & I will soon... but right now it's still "in progress." :)
