Decorating Bug

When Steve surprised me on my birthday by adding decorative box molding on the bedroom walls, it prompted me to finally finish decorating our bedroom. First on my list was completing my silk curtains I had started more than a year ago.

They're silk drapes that were on sale at West Elm for $25/panel.... which was a steal! But at 60 inches in length... no wonder they were on sale! Who would want them but me.... To make up the length of the drapes I bought a 4 yards of the one of the cheapest material at the fabric store... burlap (yes... the same burlap they bag potatoes with). But the look works and I love the look of it... it looks like a finely starched linen.

Here are the wonderful box molding Steve surprised me with.

And I know... who hangs large pictures of themselves on the walls... I'm no supermodel! But what are you supposed to do with your wedding portraits.??

Here is a closer look of the drapes.. This one drapes on the floor a bit... contemplating whether to hem them up like the others? I'll get to next year I'm sure...

My view relaxing on the bed.

Since I was hanging 3 curtain rods in the bedroom.... What's one more. So I decided to hang one more in the hallway with silk green drapes.

As you can see the light switches are still exposed (its the littlest things you never seem to complete....)

All in all... Decorating always puts a smile to my face. The drapes warm up the home and makes my home feel more like a home.

Because home is where heart is....

And my bedroom... its the retreat I always wanted.
