Success



I have always loved my beautiful front room window with its large picture window topped by a lovely arch. I can now say that it has once more been successfully covered. A quick internet search and I found instructions on how to create my own arch window "rod" from a clear plastic tube and 1" cup hooks. It worked beautifully, even though I had to go up on the fourth step on the ladder! Determination overcame my fear of heights and I got the project done. I even found out that I can drill and such with my left hand. Afternoons will be a little cooler with the harsh west sun filtered. Now off to paint a few more things....

It is gorgeous Ann. I am so impressed! I need to get a bit creative on a few of our house projects too. In mexico I saw these really great ceramic kithen door handles for the cubbards, but they didn't have enough. I am going to start to look for somewhere that sells something similar to bring a bit of color to our old, dull white cabinets.

How impressive! I need to get some curtain rods for my house, too. But then I need to find draperies... sounds too overwhelming!
