Just got the den hung, and have the sunporch started.
My lord, grannie, what an ambitious project. Your sunroom looks like it has wall to wall windows.
My four year old grandson spent the night and is now on his second round of waffles and chocolate milk. He went to bed after 11 last night and tried to wake me up early. I told him I didn't DO 6:30 am. So he went back to bed for a few hours, thank goodness.
He is already after me to watch that Shrek movie with him. He has promised me that there are no monsters. He knows I don't watch movies and thinks the reason is that I am scared of them. LOL His other grandmother has a huge library of movies and he just can't understand why I don't. He is a little movie nut and becoming a bit of a snob. He wants DVDs now instead of regular movies.

"That's why God made drapery companies for us, Gran."
I did look Loddy, but I never find anything that I really like for the horrendous prices they ask. Besides I have an odd size window in this house. I don't do floor length, yanowhatimean?
Lol... I have Devin here today too.. but thank goodness he brings his X-box (or whatever it is) and plenty of floor toys. He does try to get me to lose at one of his games now and then tho.
My daughter Dyan said the Shrek? movie was quite cute, but I haven't seen it yet. You're like me..I have to be tied down with nothing else to do to get me to watch a movie..kids or otherwise. I haven't been to an inside movie house since Hector was a Pup. I'm like a bubble in a pee-pot, and can't sit still.
No.
Just hard to find.
Extremely hard to find.
Specialty butcher's shops have it, but that is getting to be 'less and less'.
It does have lots of windows, but I think I'm only going to make valances. I don't want the windows all covered up.
I may have to invest in some verticle blinds for the slider as I get a lot of sun coming in there in the winter when the trees are all bare and it has done a job on the furniture. I guess I can live with that.
Maybe I"m going to have to dump a few odd knicky-knacks..?
That room is absolutely gorgeous. Is that your den?
This room has chaacter strong and definite.
One of the finest remnants of Europe's medieval era, the walled town of Avila was sacred to an ancient Celtiberian culture long before the arrival of the Romans or Christians. The city was captured by the Arab Moors in 714 AD, recaptured by the Christians in 1088, and had its protective walls built in the 12th century. Extending for 2,500 meters (8202 ft.) and encircling the old town, the massive walls are punctuated by ninety, heavily fortified stone towers. Avila is much visited by tourists today, yet in the late medieval ages its visitors were pilgrims coming to the church in the center of the walled city. The current church, begun in 1091 and completed in the 13th century, is where the mystic St. Teresa (1515-1582) had frequent visions and ecstatic experiences. Nearby the church stands the house where St. Teresa lived.
This new "lettem drag on the floor" look is pitifu...as is the "let's don't hang the pictures" just prop them up and go on.
Have a super Friday up there.
Yes...the room extends out of the picture. The TV is on the other end.. LOL.. that's Al's room unless I happen to watch a movie.. which is very rare..;)
I call it the Funeral Parlour look.. Hated it!!! ;)
Well.. like I said Resty, it's mostly a man's room, and usually filled with newspapers and mail.. ;)
Oh and his table looks like Woliff's desk with all the clickers.. ;)
Thank you!
St.Teresa of Avila has been memorialized all over the world now I know where the root of it existance comes form!
