Curtain update!

Well, I dyed the curtains.... What a LOT of work!!! Warning, it takes four complete wash cycles most with you there to stop machine before spin cycle to complete dying. Multiple that by three for me because of the number of curtain panels and you total a LONG day in the laundry room! They look OK...but unfortunately they shrunk so they are too short now. I'm going to leave them up for now but I'll be looking for new curtains.

Still don't have my new chairs and I'm upset about that because I really wanted them here by November 30th. Nothing I can do though so I'll just have to wait until they arrive. They are supposed to be here next week.

New sofa!


This is my new sofa! So excited to bring it home today. It looks great in the living room although I still need to change the curtains and our new chairs aren't in yet. Right now the curtains are a natural linen color which doesn't complement the sofa very well. I want to change them to chocolate brown but haven't found any I'm crazy about yet. I think I'm going to try dyeing the ones I have now and hope for the best! Also picked up some chocolate brown cushions and two aqua and brown striped cushions for the sofa at Pier One when we got the sofa.
