My room

Well Wednesday I got curtains up in my room. First had to make a trip to Lowes because even though through the years I have bought hundreds of dollars worth of tools, I found I had been left with a very small flat head screwdriver and a hammer. I blame the Big Kahuna and the merry band of boys for this (you know who you are). At one point even had a toolbox but alas, all gone. Well, that means I get to start fresh right? Okay, here is a corner of the room before...

and here are the tools I bought...

I opted for this Black and Decker 3/8 inch electric drill with a keyless chuck. I could have gone with a cordless, lighter one, but you just never know when you might have the urge to drill or screw something up (ha), and your battery might not be charged... and when I want a project done I want it done NOW, ya I'm like that, so this was a good option for me. Plus it came with this really cool soft sided bag! Got a set of drill bit thingies, a yardstick (also comes in handy to close vents on your ceiling) and cup hooks for the tie backs.

Add that to the tools I had, a pencil and a hammer, and these are basically what I used.

A little note here, Big Kahuna thinks it takes 3 trips to the hardware store to complete a task like this, took me one, never will understand that mentality. Oh, and while I do not name my houses, I do name my hammers. This is the Truper, had Old Hickory before him.

Okay, here we go...

another look...

Starting to come together. Will show the rest some other time.

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!
