Tomorrow, Better Half and I have a little apartment-work scheduled, one item of which will be hanging a curtain. Yeah, I know, it must look rather strange for me having been living in my current apartment for quite a few months now without something to block off my windows effectively, but that is not quite the case. See, my apartment came with pre-installed vertical blinds on all the windows and the patio door. Ugly, simple blinds, but they are free. The curtain to be hung tomorrow, however, is not going to go anywhere near a window – my apartment has a rather nice natural divide between its public living spaces (namely, the kitchen, living room, and dining area) and its private ones (bedroom, bathroom, closet, etc.), and there is only one doorless doorway (what are those called anywise?) between the two areas. There is not a single decorative bone in my body, but I figure a curtain (especially one I already have from my last apartment) hung over that openining with a hook to hold it open when I want to might be a nice touch. Or it might just be something to do. Either way.
Thankfully, those of us who know a grand total of diddly about interior decoration are occasionally smart enough to watch such educational shows as Extreme Makeover. Now, I do have some qualms with their use of the word “Makeover” – by the time the bulldozers are completed, the only thing they are “making over” is the lot left behind – but some of the ideas they provide are just nifty, and the things they do for the families on the show are past even “shiny”. On a related note, it appears SelectBlinds provides all of the blinds for that particular show, and judging from their selection, this is no great surprise. If I ever have the need for purchasing my own window coverings again, I might just swing back by this place.
For the time being, though, I think Better Half is going to have her hands full with me and powertools…
