Curtains are up!

Before we get to the curtains, here's PJ Joey actually behaving and laying in her little bed- I think we're ready for a transition into a Big Girl Bed!

On to the curtains... I spent so much time on them, and for the past month, they have just been in a heap in the corner of the Pink Room. I finally got the rods, and then Caleb very generously gave up a studying hour to drill in the screws for the rods today. Whether they look good or bad, I'm just glad to finally have them hanging!
This is our room- the walls look really yellow in this picture, but the paint is actually green... weird how it does that. The curtains in this room are very sheer. The fabric was on clearance for $5 a yard- STEAL!
A closer look at the bedroom curtains. Please ignore the Terrible side tables. There used to be cute covers for them, but when 007 came the first time to spray for fleas, he said that the side table skirts were "Ground Zero" for the fleas, so I immediately threw them away. Even though the flea epidemic is long gone (Thanks be to God!) I still have naked side tables. My goal is to get mini-bookshelf type things. I have in my head what I want to get, I just haven't seen them yet....
Breakfast room curtains. I think these are really going to help cool the house down during the day, actually. They really keep out natural light.
And finally, the Pink Room curtains. I put a little flair into this curtain. The idea is to draw the eye to the curtains so that the mind isn't so blown away by the pinkness of it all.
