Mrs. OBC (Val) has been keeping an eye open in her family for anyone redecorating and modernising their homes, with a view to copping what they discard for the Regent apartments.
She came up trumps today, with an amazing set of curtains which come with a valance and those things you tie round them to posh em up when they aren't closed.
OBC dropped em off on his way in to work this morning and I was up the ladder like a rat up a drainpipe putting them up, which on my own and with my neck problem was easier said than done, but with a few rests in between stages, I completed the job only falling off the ladder once and neck problem quelled with a couple of Diclofenac.
Even these pictures don't do justice to how they have transformed the room, way too posh for me (right down to the matching candlesticks, honest) !
Darlo popped by on Saturday and gave me the boot ! No, she's still going to help with the deocrating, she gave me a planter, which I immediately used to repot one of the spider plants.
We're getting a bit of well deserved rain today, so the carnies will have a watering and I've some bowls out there to collect some too.
Lots of little jobs on the go this week, though today's "soft fabric project" was unexpected, but well worth the effort.
Oooh looks fancy!
