Hmm...I guess we've gone green...

So i purchased new curtains for a few rooms. The guest room, or "Erin's Room" as we still call it, needed an update from the plain roll down shades. So i added some sheers to give the windows a little something extra.


But really the credit goes to Derek. Apparently he didn't like some of the window coverings we have, so i got to go on a shopping spree for new curtains. I only bought for two rooms, the kitchen and office will have to wait. The bathroom had mini blinds, which i didn't like, they were broken... You had to turn the small nub of a stick at the top to open them, or pull them all the away open. So i bought a valance, and cafe curtains. But i didn't measure the length, so i am in the process of hemming them up. They hung down to just above the toilet paper roll. I only have one of the cafe curtains hanging in the picture. But it's at the new height that i hemmed it at. Which brings me to why i am posting and the title of my post. Derek said he was going outside to mow...but our mower broke last year. I forgot we had even had this. I heard a strange noise coming from outside and guess what he's using now?! (Sorry no sound, my camera doesn't have a microphone)

I'm sure that's a great workout!

he was really desperate to mow that lawn-I'm getting there. We've had a new lawn mower for over a week and it still isn't put together.

Olaf suggested sharpening the blades, then he wouldn't have to go over the same spot 3-4 times.

He's more or less trying to make it look like we really need a new mower. I mowed the backyard with it, because he didn't beleive me that it would work on such long grass.

I just noticed the tile in your bathroom-I think it is the same color as ours.

It's a lovely shade of Avacado green. But it works well with light yellows and creams. So we have a green bathroom...hey! I guess that works with my title too!
