More Curtains? – ¿Más cortinas?
Curtains, curtains and now more curtains? Of course! is there any other answer to that question? We definitely needed to get the last ones hung in the living room. First, Douglas had to put the hardware back up, and then I washed and hung the drapes.
¿Cortinas, cortinas y ahora más cortinas? ¡Claro que sí! ¿Podría haber otra respuesta de esa pregunta? Definitivamente necesitábamos colgar las que faltaban en la sala. Primero, Douglas tuvo que re-colgar los aparatos para sostenerlas y después yo las lavé y las colgué.
One of our blinds broke. They are no longer made, so we are in trouble if we can’t fix it. We tried for a while, but we are unable to open the box that conceals the mechanism. We ran out of time. I really hope that we can get it fixed.
Una de las persianas se rompió hace tiempo y ya no se pueden comprar así que vamos a tener problemas si no la podemos arreglar. Intentamos por un rato el otro día, pero no pudimos abrir la caja que encubre el mecanismo que sube y baja la persiana. Se nos acabó el tiempo ese día, pero espero poder hacerlo en otra ocasión.
That was the only work that got done around the house this weekend. Spiderman and Ironman were with us for a few days, and we took them to Long Island to visit my mother and go to the aquarium. It was an exhausting weekend.
No hicimos más nada durante el fin de semana porque Ironman y Spiderman estaban con nosotros y los llevamos a Long Island para visitar a mi mamá e ir al acuario. Fueron unos días agotadoras.
The good news is that more work is scheduled for the upcoming weekend, and the best part is that neither Douglas nor I will be doing it! We hired out the painting of the living room and the one wall of our bedroom that was damaged in the insulation debacle. I am beyond excited to finally get this done. Maybe this will give me the motivation to get more projects completed. Oh, who am I kidding? That is probably not going to happen, but at least I can celebrate this win.
Las buenas noticias son que ya tenemos otro proyecto planeado para el fin de semana que viene y lo mejor es que ¡ni yo ni Douglas tenemos que hacerlo! Contratamos a alguien para que nos pinte la sala y la pared de nuestro dormitorio que se dañó en la debacle del aislamiento. Me es difícil explicar qué tan emocionada estoy. A lo mejor me dará la motivación para completar otros proyectos. ¿A quién creo que engaño? Es muy poco probable que eso ocurra, pero uno puede soñar, ¿no?
Happy Homemaking!
¡Espero que todos tus sueños caseros se cumplan!
I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house. You can read about my projects on my blog www.CapeofDreams.com
That will be wonderful to cross that painting chore off your list, especially since you are hiring it out. It’s good to have forward progress, isn’t it?
You are correct! We needed some forward progress around here, and it feels great.
There is nothing so rewarding as watching other people do the work (even if you have to spend money to make it happen)! Enjoy!!
Isn’t that the truth! I would love to just sit on the couch with a glass of wine and watch him. Haha.
Yea for you! You’re so busy but keeping the important things first. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
It is important to keep our priorities straight.
It will be such a relief for you when the once damaged walls are painted again. I’m sure you’ll feel more at home.
