HANGING CURTAINS


Yesterday I started hanging some curtain rods and panels in my studio. Erica was here over Christmas and suggested I put these up so I bought them from Pottery Barn. The curtains in the room right next door (my office) were custom made so I'm wondering if these panels may look a little spindly next to the nice, full, pleated ones but - it finishes the raw window and adds a little warmth to this big, open room.

TO BEGIN


I chose the largest font because these are difficult for me to read - the print is too small. I also find it difficult to put the photos exactly where I want them so I will only apply one photo per post. That means there may be more than 1 post a day - and sometimes, I may not post on a day.

I find I lead a rather unique and interesting daily life. I also find myself aging and no, I don't like it, but mostly I find it rather interesting in that my physical body is changing so quickly. It strikes me that even though I live the way I do (and you will see how eventually) I age. It is not something I can stop nor control. I even wonder if the things I do to slow it down or hide the effects are more emotional than physical.

Today I discovered that even though I have the luxury of choosing exactly what I want to do almost all the time, sometimes what feels best is to do the things that I need to do instead of putting them off or wishing someone else will do them. For months, I have left these wonderful new curtains I hung outside get blown to smithereens and the hems are getting ragged. It was always too cold, too wet or too windy but today, I unscrewed the screws that hold the rods firm, removed 4 giant curtain panels and am washing and drying them to put away until summer comes again. It feels so good to have them inside, safe and sound.
