Janie's Got a (Staple) Gun

I can't believe I've been in my new place for so long and not posted pics-- "look at where I live" posts are all I have to make me look quasi-domestic next to all of the people who can post "look at my kid." Anyway, this weekend was a crafty one for me, so here are all of my low-quality iPhone pics of my projects (apparently I also can't compete with the "look at how I can take gorgeous pictures" blogs. *sigh*. In another life, perhaps...)
Look, Mom-- I sewed on rick rack! Just don't look too closely at the no-so-straight stitching...


This weekend I upholstered the headboard, made drapes, and painted my furniture. The 10 foot drapes are my favorites, I am in love with the fabric and they have a heavy, black lining that is perfect for a good afternoon Sunday nap.

Now if only I could keep my desk looking this tidy all of the time...

I kept the master bath super girly-- all pink and white with a fancy (ok, IKEA) chandelier.

And most importantly, did I mention the location of this dreamy dwelling? Go ahead and look out my window: Bajio, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and Happy Sumo.
Pics of the rest of the casa later, I need a few good weekends to fancy up the living room (how soon is too soon to decorate for Christmas?)

I do love your neighborhood. Instead of calling Bajio's to see if they are open...all we have to do is look out the window.

You bring a tear to my eye. I especially like that window treatment in the bathroom. Is that hand beading I see on it??? You done your mother proud.

Pretty. :) Gotta' love those look-fancier-than-they-actually-are chandeliers from IKEA! (totally have the same one...) Love the view, too!
