Home Improvement

I'm in this strange place of limbo. Now that I have my cast off, my mobility is greatly improved, (although, let's not kid ourselves, I did pretty much everything the doctor told me not to do). But I can't return to the massage intern clinic until I get the doctor to sign off on it and so far that's not happening.

Instead I've been entertaining myself with some home improvement projects.

Observe:

New curtains for the bedroom:

Ceiling fan for the living room:

Which is possibly better viewed here, but I chose to put the black side of the blades down.

This one is a two-fer:
The PERFECT artwork to hang above the piano. Although, looking at this, I realize my picture is crooked. Be right back. Ok, fixed. (Am I the only one that if I see a crooked picture, regardless of where I might be, I have to fix it?)

The new digital thermostat since I couldn't ever seem to keep the temperature regulated.

Up close:

Then I hung this light which was waaaaaaaaaay more challenging than I thought, because I was replacing a can light which fits recessed deeply into the ceiling, but luckily the nice orange-aproned men at Home Depot knew there was an adapter plate to fix this.

I still have a kitchen faucet to install, but since I have better knowledge of electricity than I do of plumbing, I've been holding off. THIS is not the exact one, but almost identical.

Also, who knew faucets could be so expensive? The one I originally liked turned out to be $549. Obviously I was forced into a second choice.

So have you done any home improvements lately? If not, what would you change about your living space?
