Doing things around the apartment

Tripp and I finally completed a few projects in our apartment. My parents are coming to visit at the end of the week so we had some incentive to complete these quick (well we thought they would be!) projects. First, we decided to tackle hanging curtains in our bedroom. We went to Home Depot and bought the necessary supplies. We started the measuring and encountered our first dilemma. We did not have a stool tall enough for the job. So we improvised and came up with a rather unsafe "stool" consisting of an ottoman with a step stool on top!! We got the valence hung with ease! Then we tried to work on the drapes and quickly found that we had grabbed a rod that was too short. Tripp made a second trip to Home Depot to get the correct rod and we were back in business. Tripp got the drapes hung easily and enjoyed the opportunity to use his tools he got as wedding presents.

We then decided we would hang some floating shelves we purchased for the living room. The process for getting the shelves hung had a few snags but the finished product is fabulous!!
I am lucky to have such a handy and patient husband to put up with me and me decorating ideas!
