Finally getting to some of the house projects that we've been wanting to do since moving, which included changing/remaking drapes, shelves, etc. to fit our new setting. When we took the drapes to be shortened, we took them to the woman who originally made them 20+ years ago. We praised her for how good her work and materials had been that the drapes were still in good shape, to which she replied that it was a bittersweet compliment because she might be out of business if everyone did things the way we did! Here we are putting up shelves that have been moved and remounted at least twice before. They were also soaked when our garage was flooded earlier this summer. So, after cutting off the parts that got ruined and refinishing the shelves, we mounted them in a challenging artsy pattern. We also have stopped using plastic sheaves and create our own bamboo or wooden slivers to put into the drilled holes instead to serve the same function.
