The albatross aka.curtains...

I've been belly-aching to Chris about how I need help hanging our bedroom curtains for over 5 months now.
I am not good at hanging stuff like that. Overhead arm strength is not my specialty.
Yes, I'm an admitted weakling.
The real point here is, I have not had bedroom curtains - just blinds that are not blind at all.
I could look through our bedroom "blinds" and tell you license plate numbers from cars outside... Needless to say, I got creeped out trying to get dressed in my room, or sleep in my bed.
I wanted my curtains, dang it!

I griped. I tried to bribe. I whined, complained. Set everything out.
Still I could never manage to get it done until tonight.

I still need to paint the room. I first need to decide what color it will be.
I'd also like to set the carpet on fire - there may be a few angles I haven't thought of yet, with regard to arson...
All in all, I am very excited about the way things are finally starting to get done around here.
It does so much for a girl to have her nest all gussied up.

I may be able to help with the color, but want ot get a few things straight. Burgundy carpet, Cherrywood furniture, gold drapes, black picture frames, and hopefully changeable blankets (Please list preference). I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Also, are you changing trim color or is it staying white?
