Drapery Drama - Final Chapter Happy Ending (PICs) - Thanks to All
Comments (38)bonniee - Thanks for posting! stacyesq - I would really like to see pictures of your room before and after too. I'm sure you will like the quality of the draperies. They're so nice. I ordered them in the 96" length because we have 9' ceilings, and I wanted to hang them high. Now that we have the Christmas tree down, I can post pictures of the rest of the room, so keep watching for that. juddgirl2 - Yes, it's surprising that they fit alright. I absolutely had my heart set on panels, so I had to make it work somehow....See Morecare to share a piece of art?
Comments (94)msjee- your "art" reminds me of something similar from my teen years. I had not planned on remarking on it, but I read a post just above and it made me think I should say something. I was angry with my parents and they took a picture of me as I glared at the camera. They put it in the family album and were/are (?) quite amused by it. I always thought it was cruel and mean spirited that they took that picture and it was always a reminder of how upset I was with them. Your son may find it funny, but he also may not and you may not realize that. The reason I put the "?" next to the word "are" is I have not spoken to them for over 5 years. The picture was obviously not the slightest the cause of the rift, but even thinking about it annoys me, 30 years later. They often found humor at my expense and if I expressed that it hurt my feelings, then I was being too sensitive. To this day, I have anxiety about singing publicly because they and my older brother would razz me about it. I remember being quite proud that I was a runner up for the lead in a school production in 6th grade, but when I said I did not get the part, they all said it was because it sounded like someone was getting hurt when I practiced in the bsmt. Very funny. I used to love to sing and wanted to become a singer, but after the 3 of them used it as a punchline, it was hard for me to ever sing in front of anyone again. What may seem funny to the adults may cut deep to a kid, even one who is older. Your son may act like it is funny but it could also get under his skin. Is it really something you want as a family story to pass down? Is that how you want to remember your son? If something were to happen to him, I think you may look at the wall differently and wonder if you should have continued the gag quite so long. Hopefully, your family is nothing like mine was and this is something humorous to all, but if there is a chance it bothers him, even a little, do you really want to do that?...See MorePlease Share Pics of Your Wood Paneled Rooms - PICS
Comments (39)debelli, the dark cherry paneling is from a house around the corner in our neighborhood. We tried to put in a bid, but found out the bank (it was a foreclosure) had already accepted a bid less than 24 hours before. We were pretty bummed, we really loved all the built in storage in that house. We fell in love with the neighborhood, so we kept looking and found our current house about a month or so later. The yellow-y looking paneling with the table and lamp is our actual office, although it's the listing picture. We haven't taken any pictures of this (I'm sitting in it) because we have it jam packed with IKEA office furniture. It's absolutely utilitarian, so definitely wouldn't inspire. DH works from home. Since the rest of the house needs work, I'm leaving this office to last. I'm guessing that we won't do much, no paint, DH doesn't want to change the paneling at all. The houses in my neighborhood were built between the mid eighties to mid nineties and ALL of them have paneling of some type either in an office or formal living room. I believe nearly everyone's paneling is done with birch luan and molding trim. Kathe...See MoreCare to Share?
Comments (34)Very few surprises around here any more. I got the camera I've been coveting, plus Wii and Wii Fit Plus from DH. He tucked some cash in my stocking for the after-Christmas sales. DS got me two cutters I'd been wanting for my card-making, plus the most wonderful plaque that just made my day. What Cancer Cannot Do Cancer is so limited (Yet in all these things) It cannot cripple love, it cannot alter hope. (We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us) It cannot corrode faith, it cannot destroy peace, (For I am persuaded that neither death, or life ...) It cannot kill friendship, it cannot suppress memories, (Nor principalities nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, depth,) It cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul.
