Show and Tell



Here are some pics of the new house! When we bought the house I decided I could make curtains instead of spending lots of money for custom blinds on all the windows, it would be much more creative, unique...and cheaper of course. Plus I love picking out fabrics and designing what the fabric will turn into. Boy was that a dumb idea! In the end it would have been a million times easier, probably cheaper and sometimes would have looked much better to just have custom blinds made. So if you ever come over to my house, please don't look at the curtains too closely.

kitchen, in case you couldn't tell


believe it or not, there are actually smaller yards in our neighborhood

That's about all that's worth showing after a month in the house. Come by and see us some time!

Validation: The curtains look spectacular and were certainly worth the time and money! Good job! Accolades to you! I am a bit high on cold medicine right now if these compliments seem a little over the top. I do really like the house though and the curtains are cute ;)

I'm so impressed--you have more stuff on your walls than I do! Granted, that's because Jared doesn't want any holes in the walls, but we're getting there :) The house looks awesome!
