Playing House

Little by little we're covering up... our windows. ;)

We tackled the boys' room first. As you can see, they have the best window in the house. But that great, big, gorgeous window was making it difficult for them to sleep past dawn. And in the summer, that comes a little too early for me!
 

We've ended up with an airplanes and space theme in there, so the stars on blue fabric was perfect. Ben figured out how to attach a curved rod-of-sorts to the top of the arch. I'm plumb tickled with how it turned out! Some day I think I'd like to build a solar system or a model plane or two, with the boys, to hang in front.

I improvised this bathroom window from scraps. I may change and hang it up above the window. I'm not sure I like it inside the frame.

I dug this fabric out for Ben's and my bathroom, but I wasn't sure what to do with it. Ben did, however. He's so brilliant at whatever he tries. Everything he touches turns to gold. I love the frayed edge, it's so pretty.

We still have a few more rooms left--the living room, kitchen, library/music room, and our bedroom. Unfortunately, I've learned that a rushed job is always full of regrets, so I'll be waiting to finish those until I know exactly how to proceed. I'll holler when I'm happy!

Oh, Lyn, I just got caught up on your blog and loved every minute and picture of it. Thank you so much for making the effort to capture and save these sweet memories. You are an awesome mother, wife, and the best daughter in law I have named Lyn. Thanks for your sweet post on Father's Day. It's always rewarding for me when the gifts are given. I know I'm selfish wanting to see the looks on the kids faces as they give them. Love you, Mom B.
