I have been feeling the same way for years about those shutters, and when he suggested the fabric I nearly fell off my chair. How simple. When I asked him how we’d do it, he said he’d just take a small saw and remove the inside slats with it. Hope that helps! And if you do it, please send me a picture. I’d love to see it! <br />Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-3178589260884792422019-05-14T11:17:37.511-04:002019-05-14T11:17:37.511-04:00Oh Kim!!!

I love all your ideas....tiny touches that add up to a fresh new space! Hmmmm what redecorating do I have in mind? My daughter's room needs to be bleached from top to bottom and then repainted....I've been working on the cleaning part, but no time for painting right now. Some day!! Other than that, I don't have a lot on the list....the flood downstairs and all the money that went into repairs wiped out any 'slush' fund I had for anything at all, so I'll be laying low and trying to build that back up again!

I have flat doors on the closet and I actually like them. They have a sweet scalloped wooden valance. I really do wish we had nice wood floors in the hall, it would make things easier for sure. And yes, the carpet fumes are terrible, but the dust from sanding and then the smell from the finish would be way worse for me. To be honest, I may just keep that carpet…it’s probably the easiest route at this point! Oh boy.

It was from a company called Hickory Hill, in their Grandma's Attic collection. I think the company has since dissolved. Boo. And it makes me smile to know we've owned the same couch.

I have a good friend who lives in a parsonage and she says the exact same thing about retirement though. In the meantime, she uses her creativity the way you do, cooking, crocheting and in other lovely crafting pursuits.
