A rainy day in the Sunshine State

It's a rainy day here in the sunshine state....It should be a good day to curl up in a corner and read a good book-----BUT, this twosome headed over to my mom's house to finish up our projects. We were there all day yesterday- hanging drapery rods. We thought it would be an easy job--just hanging a decorative rod and putting up the drapes. But, just hanging the 3 brackets for the rod took hours! Then, we had to patch the old holes in the wall. So, by 5 PM, we just called it quits and told them we'd be back to finish it up. Today's task was trimming the rod, installing the finials, hanging the drapes. The end result was worth all the work. Mom's living room looks amazing--new drapes, new oriental rug and new furniture-- a designers dream!

Now, it's on to our next project-- making Chloe's "daytime house". John has to modify a puppy pen so that it will fit under our table. We're hoping that she'll grow to love her little "house" and we can leave her in it while we're out.
