Coming down to the wire

So we have all the major painting done. Or should I say Annie has all the major paingting done? I've done little painting as I can. Im a lousy painter. Anyway today we went shopping for curtains. What fun! I am glad her tastes and mine are somewhat similiar.

We brought some cream colored ones for the living room. The walls in there are a dark mustardly brown if that makes sense. The cream goes in there wonderfully. Then the bathroom is color theme is going to be black white and a tealy greenish/blue. So we tried for a matching rug. It was difficult so we ended up with a light cream rug and a white rug. I will have to keep my eyes open for some accent colored things for her. The craft room is called puppy paws. It is sorta a rusty rosish brown and the curtain in there will be a delicate peachy color, well that is what it looks like to me. Last of all her bedroom. OMG that was most difficult because I think we both see the blueish color on her walls differently. So she ended up getting a bedset (quilt, shams, and bed ruffle) these are in browns and creams, so the curtains are a light beige color. I think it will look nice.

Kitchen is last and we have not brought anything for it yet. Her kitchen is yellow and green, so of course I had to tease her about the colors, since she is from IL and is a bears fan. Anyway I want to make her a few more dishcloths as a house warming present (besides the coffee pot) I gave her two so far. Here is a pic of one of them.










It is the ballband pattern that you can find here: http://www.elmore-pisgah.com/Ballband%20Dishcloth.htm
