The new window over the sink…so we can watch the neighbor’s grown sons mow the lawn this summer. I mean, umm, get more light in the house. Yeah, that’s it. Yes, I know I need to take the stickers off the window…in time…I meant to take them off and slap them on a piece of [...]

26. December 2007
OK, so here’s my inspiration board followed by two fabrics I found on Pierre Deux. At $85 a yard…it’s not gonna happen (umm, $10 a yard or less would be good…).
