Yeah it's a gorgeous day here. And my neighbor on the corner, a crazy one, is getting some work done in her basement and got these gorgeous new patio doors.

I got those same damn things, Mocha. I need to replace mine too. Except that Bigdog may replace the door. Except that it may take him five years to do it. Sigh ... Will be looking to see what you do with the door. Oh! And if you do want to just go the quick fix cheap route, you can buy replacement slats at Home Depot for about $11 for six, to replace the missing ones. And if the header that turns the blinds is all wonky too, you can replace that for about $30. It is really easy to do. Just sort of snaps in and out. We did that for the landlady in south Texas this winter.

<blowing the dust off> I have curtains now in my bedroom and oh what a difference they make. I've also got some sari material from eBay but I'm still on the lookout for more. I'm also now ready to buy a floor and table lamp from Home Depot.

Hey, Toots - what kind of flooring are you going for? I'm looking at faux-wood for the master bath, but basically I don't know what I'm talking about and I'm thinking of using dark oak and light oak in alternating slats. Basically, though, I'm a carpeting girl especially when it comes to bedrooms. When do we get to see a picture of your curtains?

Do we get to see some pictures as this boudoir progresses? (maybe we could add our two cents as you go along...)

I do have a pic for the curtains. Let me find it. Gal, I won't be changing the flooring I think, but if I did I would just pick a diff carpet color. I don't like my bare feet hitting a bare floor lol.

Unfortunately the colors aren't clear on this pic but here they are:
Now this is the bottom of the curtains which came out with their true colors.

Beautiful color Mocha - is that . . . is that PURPLE??????? Because I was thinking aubergine, but then I thought eggplant, and what about orchid, and then well, I get confused. I know fuschia when I see it, though. I'm with you on the no cold floor in the bedroom thing. I actually wanted ceramic tile on the bathroom floor, but Colossus said no cold tiles on his tootsies at 6 a.m. he wanted that plasticky bathroom flooring which . . . NO!!! . . . so we compromised on wood, which we both like better anyway. I see a flecked, light colored Berber to compliment your drapes.

Lol the walls are an odd mixture of fuscia/aubergine that I actually don't like but did when we got the paint lol. My stepmom's sister is redoing her bathroom and has these gorgeous limestone tiles which don't feel as cold to the touch like ceramic. But would wood warp with all the moisture??

That's why we're going with the faux-wood flooring that they sell at Menard's and whatnot (the looks/feels real but isn't stuff) - so it doesn't warp and rot. Should be a fine pain in the patoot to put down, though. I intend to stay out of it.
