Weekend update: Move over, Martha

I looked in Josh's room on Saturday morning and realized it was not quite done. He still needed a lamp for one thing, and curtains, and maybe even a rug. So off we went in search of decorating stuff. I found that its quite difficult to get cheap curtains in a plain white, esp. without feminine frills like lace or flowers. So I bought a flat white sheet with a very nice diamond weave and sewed them myself. I think it was a pretty good job considering I didn't give it more than an hour or 2. I even ironed with spray starch, and washed the window before I hung them. Now for under $20, he's got new curtains, valance & rods!! We found a nice 5 head lamp so even in winter it will be bright, and a cute little shag rug in bright blue so his feet won't have to hit cold wood floor on winter mornings. I think its really done now, except for the little "piles" of stuff I have to get rid of. I need one of those people with the "clean & dispose" gene. I have trouble purging. But it will happen one of these days. I hope he likes it enough to keep it cleaned up. And maybe I will just have to keep nagging. (I'm a mother, its what we do.)
