253/365 - The Finished Product

In addition to the color change, Erica picked out new window rods, tie backs and sheers. This change allowed me to channel my inner "Rosie the Riveter", as I broke out the power drill (the new Makita drill I bought for Scott at Christmas) to remove the old and set up the new. I even trained Erica how to use the power drill. I think she felt empowered.

The Finished Product - a nice, calming turquoise (Sweet Rhapsody is the official color - not sure which brilliant marketing guy thought that one up), deep brown rods to match the lamp and pillows. Circle-like sheers.



We're not 100% complete with this improvement project, though. She still wants "large polka dots" painted on the walls. Yeah, large circles. I don't think she understands how hard that will be, but we'll give it the old college try.

But I think we'll wait a couple of weeks to recover from "phase 1" first.
