california trip - one down and two to go




the main guest room fianlly has all its paint. (except for the fan blades which are pastel--they will have to be taken off and spray painted.) i will try later this evening to take pictures. the light coming through the curtains somehow altered the colors on the wall. three walls are a sahara sand color and the wall behind the curtain is a coppery brown/red--but not brown as it looks in one picture. the colors of the drapes go with the coppery wall, the soft gray/green of the duvet, and the sahara sand of the other walls.

this is the first time i have seen drapes with adjustable hem. it comes unhemmed, you measure then press a crease, insert iron on seam tape and iron again. it also came with gathering tapes in the top, making it possible to pull the curtains to the width you desire. plus they are lined. very nice all in all. now i just need to put the rod back up in the other bedroom and put up those curtains. the downstairs bedroom does not have a curtain rod. more austere! but it does have a comfy chair.

I like the colors! Restful. So is this the guest room? Do you get to sleep here? Check my blog.

i am sleeping in this room now because they chased me out of the other room to paint it. it smells a little of paint but i open the window and it is fine. i really like the cool breeze. i find that after sleeping in a cool environment all winter, i do not like it to be warm at night. i hope when i get back that i will be able to have the window open at night in my room for a little while at least. fresh air is good.
