Early spring, I finally got my curtains up and finished. Karen gave me her drapes and I bought the rod, measured and hung according to the drapes. They are not wide enough to close all the way. And...they are also a pain to open and close, they get caught and fall off the rings. It is pretty much an epic fail on my end. Anyway, I do think they look very nice. For practical purposes, I would have been better off not to make any changes. Thanks to my handy dandy husband for doing the hard part. We made plans to update the kitchen, but getting a contractor to do it has been such an ordeal. Someone would come to the house, do all the measuring, take notes, have a plan, and then months go by. I bug and bug and call, text, email. We started talking to a business in Feb 2021. Still we wait. In the meantime, I hired a guy to paint my kitchen, living room, and laundry room in March. It was so refreshing to have a clean new coat of paint, no more blue, no more wall paper, and no more cracks. Wa
