Old houses=Brrrrr! Lots of changes here at No. 11 and we haven’t left the house since we got here, which is typical. Now that the parlor pelmet is put up, we can finish the soft furnishings for this place. Old houses tend to tell you what “they” want, one can’t force it. Things that are perfect for a snowy climate just aren’t appropriate for the US Southwest…it only took me twenty years to learn that lesson! Next trip…bring a ladder. 🙂
Next trip’s project…the two main room windows. Looking for some vintage olive and blue striped linen to go with the embroidered borders I have, then I can properly hem those antique net curtains so the linen lace shows. Ugh* those victorians are just too complicated!
This morning’s coffee and reading spot. There will be a nap, I’m sure.
That danged pelmet1A pelmet is that covered structure at the top of the window covering up the curtain rod for the curtains. is completely hand finished, mitered, padded and pattern matched. 
Never Again! When we bring back a ladder, I can trim off the excess and hand stitch it closed. For now…I am happy.
Their new napping and barking spot. Sorry, neighbors!
