I had four days off and I decided that we were gonna get some more projects done. We have house guests coming and more events this summer to do so we need to finish up some of these lingering projects.
First project to finish up was "South Facing Windows"... We started with "Blackout" on our Master Bedroom drapes. We also have a south facing skylight in the bathroom and if you remember, we talked about making a custom shade for that. Well here it is:
Steven took on the frame and I had left over black out fabric to line this adorable print from Dwell Studio. I only had to buy a yard, which is good, because it is EXPENSIVE. I think I have enough left over to do a little valence for the LAST south facing window, a little frosted number in the toilet/shower area.This shade is perfect. I swear it. I can't even believe how exact it turned out for not having a pattern to work off. We just kind winged the entire thing, but we're really happy with the results. It is already making a big difference in the temperature and the light blockage. Plus, I think the little birds are cute.
The other shade that needed to be made was a curtain for the extra bedroom. I fell in love with the Damask Duchess fabric. At 54" wide, I only needed one panel. I love the black and white in here too, because we have a lot of red and pink accents. The muted taupe wall color works well too. This room just needs some art work to be done!
These last pictures aren't about home projects, Steven cut me some roses off our bushes in the backyard and put them in the bathroom for me. They smell SO good! I'm a lucky girl.
Finally, here's a close up on my first dahlias, grown from bulbs! Here's hoping they keep blooming all summer long...
Basil plant in the background is doing spectacular too- just trimmed him and got enough for a full batch of pesto, that's 2 cups! Yummy!!
