So I recently took on a project I have NEVER done before!
Creating Cornice boxes for my windows!
I was originally going to do valences, when my sister-in-law Beth informed me those were out and to do this cornice box thing instead!
I looked it up, and decided to give it a whirl!
I love how they turned out! Thank you Beth for the great idea!
Also, I usually like neutral colors - and stick to safe, contemporary decorations - but decided to throw all caution to the wind and do bright and cheery colors in our family room!
The pillows were first, and the drapes came second!
They did, however, take so long I almost didn't get everything ready for Cash's birthday bash on Saturday!
However, thanks to a very handy tool-man, great Mr. Mom, super-cleaner, and an ultra patient hubby, they were up exactly 2 hrs. prior to guest arrival!
We had a great bbq with friends and family to celebrate, and another cake experience for little Cash!
This one is just for you linds - miss your face!!!!
Guests at the party
Enjoying the grub - (don't the drapes look good?)
Wo - what is that?
not wanting to get messy - so using his fork!
this fork is not working so well!
maybe i will try using my fingers afterall!
hmmm......interesting flavor!
so good!
give me more!
i really love being center of attention!
this is so great!
yum yum (i love his bottom tooth)
messy fingers!

some of the results!
this is so much fun mommy!
who is gonna clean me up now?
Special thanks to Emily and John Jones who shot some of these great photos!!!! What a great night!

The curtains and pillows look great! I am really impressed. Are you going to sell those along with you tutus? Cash is so cute. Is it difficult to believe he is a year old? Hope you are doing well!
