Painted master bedroom
While Larry was away on his annual ski trip I decided to do some redecorating. During the time that Larry lived in Dubai alone he had purchased some nice looking curtains for our bedroom but they didn't quite fit the sliding glass door and window nor were they black out. As you know by now, nothing is ever simple in Dubai. You can't just walk into Target and buy some good curtains that will fit YOUR windows. I really didn't want to go to an expensive place to have some made either. So I tried Ikea. I was pleasantly surprised that they had curtains that would fit the length. Because I was so excited I forgot to be sure they were black out - they were brown, that should have been good enough - right?! I got home, hung the curtains quickly before I had to dash off to get the girls from school. But I didn't like 'em. I pondered for a while then decided to try over lapping the curtains. While it's a little funny that the top layer is smaller than the bottom layer, they turned out kinda neat. Now we have black out full coverage curtains in our bedroom - hurray. Oh and I painted the walls a nice terra cotta color while I was at it.
