They Are Finally Up

 Good Morning!

It's been awhile and I have missed the blog and all of you : )

Corey and I finally got the pelmuts up but I must tell you it was hard work getting them secure.  He built them to last forever.  If you want to read more about it go here.

 We are getting the anchors put in the wall to hold them up because it was a little heavy.

 (anchors)

You also have to use L-Brackets to mount them up on the wall.

After all the hard work..here they are up in my kitchen

 

 I am so happy with them.  It really was a family project and we had a great time doing it.

What are your favorite window treatments?

BTW..

Tile is being laid in the Byron job.  Paint has gone on the walls and the space has so much more life.  It is so exciting : )

Pelmut (Cornice) Wrapping

Good Morning!

Hope everyone is enjoying that this is Friday.  I believe just that thought brings immediate relaxation.. don't you?

If you remember in previous posts (here and here) my husband and I were making pelmuts or cornices (another word for them).  Now we begin the process of wrapping.

In this pic we are wrapping it with batting so it has a more plush look.

 We were trying to get these done before a visit from our family. 

 Here is my daughter cutting the batting to fit the pelmut.

 Then we took it outside and adhered the batting with a spray adhesive. It's really sticky so where rubber gloves.

 We took the fabric, cut it, and began stapling all around.

 My daughter making sure all staples are all the way in.  She is Mommy's helper : )

There is one completely done..2 more to go.

Do you have any projects that you are currently working on?  Would love to hear about it.

BTW..

The Byron Forest Preserve remodel has begun.  This is exciting.  I will have pics to show you for Monday : )

One more thing..we haven't had rain here in forever and right now I hear the sound of thunder and rain hitting my skylights..such a wonderful sound : )
