Life is a Valancing act...

I am working on a new project!
Bryan and I have purchased our first house, and have been working on getting unpacked and settled in for the last 8 and 1/2 months... What the hell is taking so long!?!? Work is totally cramping my style, and that's all I have to say about that!
Right now, I am working on building and painting a valance for the guest bedroom window... So far, I have managed to build it out of two pieces of wood and am working on spray painting it. The base coat is satin finish almond, and it will have randomly sized stripes of glossy leather brown and satin periwinkle and avocado... I have already masked it off, and am waiting for the leather brown to dry so I can slap on a second coat, and get started on the other colors... Since it's spray paint, I hope it won't take long to dry... I'm quite excited to get the masking tape off and get it hung to see how it looks with my brown silk curtains.
I've been in a real rush to get that guest room situated because I think my favorite aunt is visiting in August! (Whitewater rafting trip, anyone?) And I would like to have it comfortable and decorated before she arrives. (In case I haven't mentioned it, we're getting married in August!!!)
Unfortunately, my timetable got pushed behind due to an illness I had last month, but now I'm back and better than ever!
Will post photos of the valance and the room as soon as I've had the opportunity to complete it!
