On Saturday John and I installed our curtain rods and curtains in the living room... For some reason I had only bought 2 panels (I'm not sure if I thought it would look "cool" or if I had seen it somewhere), but when we put them up the looked a bit weird... So I went back to JC Penney that day and got the other two :-) Which way do you like it better???

En sabado John y yo instalamos los cortineros y las cortinas en la sala... Y por alguna razon yo nada mas habia comprado 2 paneles de color (no estoy segura si pense que se veria "curada" o lo habia visto en alguna parte), pero cuando las pusimos se veia un poco raro.. Asi que regrese a JC Penney ese dia y compre las otras dos :-) Como te gusta mas???

Lets talk Curtains
One of the good things of decorating right now is that EVERYTHING'S on sale. I found the curtains I wanted for the living room and the hardware and I ordered it online from JC Penney.
I wanted curtain panels for this look:

Una de las cosas buenas de estar decorando ahorita es que TODO esta en especial. Encontre las cortinas que queria para la sala y los cortineros y los ordene de JC Penney.
Queria que se viera asi:
For these windows:

Y encontre estas (Mystique Interlude) en el mismo color que la primer foto:

Aisle and Half Bathroom Decoration
I've started decorating other areas of the house, 2 days ago I hanged this 2 frames in the small (narrow) aisle on the first floor leading to the half bathroom. I've had these frames for a while, and we actually had 3 of them, but the glass on 1 of them broke during the move (we just discovered it when we moved to the house last week though) and I had "known" for a while that I wanted to used them here once we moved.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ya empece a decorar otras areas de la casa, hace 2 dias colgue estos 2 cuadros en el pasillito que esta en el primer piso que da al medio bano. He tenido estos marcos desde hace tiempo, de hecho teniamos 2, pero el vidrio de uno de ellos se quebro durante la mudanza (a penas nos dimos cuenta ahora que nos cambiamos a la casa) y yo ya "sabia" que queria colgarlos en esta area una vez que nos cambiaramos a la casa.
I also hanged this ones in the half bathroom. I found them at JC Penney and fortunatelly they were 50% off!!! Not bad.
Tambien puse estos en el medio bano. Los encontre en JC Penney y afortunadamente estaban a mitad de precio!!! Nada mal.
As you can tell, we don't have a mirror in the half bathroom yet... And I thought I had found the perfect one... Until I saw how large it really it: 30 x 42"!!! I LOVE the hammered metal look, and I think it will look great when I eventually put the glass tile... But it seems that it's the only size that Pottery Barn carries :-( Does anybody know where else could I find something similar???
Como podran ver, todavia no tenemos un espejo en este bano... Y pensaba que habia encontrado el espejo ideal... Hasta que me fije en que tan grande esta: mide 30 x 42"!!! Me ENCANTA como se ve el metal amartillado, y creo que se va a ver muy bien cuando eventualmente instale el tile de vidrio... Pero parece que es el unico tamano que Pottery Barn tiene :-( Alguien sabe donde podria encontrar algo similiar???

We're starting to decorate!!!
I had bought a few things before moving, but I didn't go over board :-) So we started decorating today.
We also went to Lowes and bought 2 fans, one for the great room and the other for our bedroom; a latter, a leveler and some drill bits for my drill :-)
I'm still not 100% convinced about centering this one on top of the door (as opposed to the entire entrance), but it'll do for now.
I will try and post some more pictures tomorrow once we install the fans :-)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Habia comprado algunas cosas antes de cambiarnos para aca, pero no exagere :-) Asi que empezamos a decorar hoy.
Tambien fuimos hoy a Lowes y compramos 2 abanicos, uno para el cuarto familiar y el otro para nuestra recamara, una escalera, un nivelador y unas brocas para mi taladro :-)
Todavia no estoy 100% segura de si me gusta esta cosa centrada sobre la puerta (en vez de haberla centrado en la entrada en general), pero asi la voy a dejar por ahorita.
Voy a tratar de postear mas fotos manana, ya que hayamos instalado los abanicos :-)
