It only took me 2,472 coats to paint...

these old shutters.



Okay. Maybe not that many coats. But it sure felt like it.

I have been hanging on to these old, antique shutters for years and years. I have a total of only three pairs. Two of the pairs hang in my keeping room windows. All painted black. None of them are the correct size for my windows but I don't give a rat's patootie. I love them.

So I decided to hang the last pair in our newly updated bathroom.

Sure I purposely bought pretty buffalo check fabric to make a curtain for the bathroom. But I didn't realize how dark it would still be in there. It's like a lovely bear cave with beadboard and a pedestal sink.

I then foolishly lovingly thought my sweet hubs wouldn't mind taking the time to gently pull one side of the curtain back, and neatly wrap the cute little button tie back I made and button it in place.

Well, the first few times he "gently pulled one side of the curtain back, and neatly wrapped the cute little button tie back I made and buttoned it in place."

The next few times it was haphazardly pulled back and the cute little button tie back was wrapped around the curtain like a bungee cord.

I knew it was time for a change when I saw the curtain off the window, across the chair and the tie back was laying on the floor.

I must say at the expense of my sweet hubs I had a good belly laugh when I saw that. ((giggle))

That was my ah-ha moment! The last pair of antique shutters will go on the bathroom window!!
How difficult can that be for him?!



Ummm... Only time will tell.
((hee-hee))


Happy Friday, everyone!!
