we paid a fortune 12 years ago, though i don’t remember who even made them for me or what i paid. the lady yesterday had to tell me what they were called again. i presume i knew when i got them originally that the living room had austrian shades and that the dining room has a kingston valance with panels. but the lady yesterday told me what they were called and that they were very expensive. i am not a home decorating type, not interested in redoing anything. she can bleach these because they are offwhite. i don’t move furniture around or redecorate or watch any of those shows, they just make me nervous. i am missing whatever that particular gene is. Though i have to say i am happy with the new hardwood floors in the fam room. we had the berber wall to wall taken out and hardwood put in there, bc it’s easier to dustmop for dog hair than to vacuum constantly. Jules black hair became a problem on the light colored rug. Chan and Loosh[RIP] are/were only a problem if you are wearing black.
I’ve never treated my windows. I didn’t even know they were sick!
I think the only ones who have that gene are stay at home moms who’s kids have gone off to school.....that was when I started to really care. One winter of watching HGTV taught me a lot. I have to limit my time at those shows or I would be constantly redecorating. Too expensive. But I didn’t like knick knacks (or tchotchkes as they say in the biz” when I finally got sick of dusting. Took awhile to get people to stop giving me things like that. I had to flat out tell a few of them.
All I want for Christmas is a car starter for my new car. I, literally, sat on Santa’s lap at the children’s party and told him what I wanted. There is a picture of that event floating around on the internet....much to my chagrin.
