I’m shocked every time I realize that we’re already in the middle of October. I had a birthday this weekend, so we took a trip up to some of the shopping near the Wilmington and Philadelphia area on Saturday. The leaves are starting to turn. I love the autumn time.
We went out for a delicious dinner and I also bought some new maternity jeans just to freshen up the pregnancy wardrobe. I always HATE all my maternity clothes by month seven, so it’s nice to have some new things to put in rotation.
Other business of the weekend: the dining room.
I was a busy little bee sewing up some new curtains for the dining room, inspired by this image from Miles Redd’s portfolio:
I ran out of pleating tape though and had to order a new roll online, which won’t get here til later this week. So, despite my best efforts, the dining room pictures will have to wait.
I hope you had a great weekend!
Oh my, you are an energizer bunny. Is this a result of nesting or are you always this way?
Cannot wait to see the curtains.

I love those curtains. I don't think I have ever seen any like that. Are they pretty complicated to make?
Is that ruffle trim on those curtains? I never thought about doing that! I LOVE them. I can't wait to see your finished product.
I love Miles Redd, and obviously so does the rest of the blog world because he is everywhere!!
I've never seen someone who accomplishes as much as you do – it takes me weeks to do what you wrap up in a weekend – and preggers, too! Can you buzz me some of that energy through my screen? ;)
Happy Birthday! Totally feel the same about maternity clothes!! Can't wait to see your curtains!!!
I love the Oscar de la Renta inspired drapery!! I can't wait to see how you've made these!
Impressive.
Happy Birthday {a little late}. Love the ruffled panels. I've done a boxed pleated ruffle on panels before, it's delightful.
Can't wait to see your results!
Happy birthday Jenny!and congrats with the pregnancy:-) Wish I had your talent….and energy!

Love your blog, I have been admiring it for a couple weeks. I can't wait to see your curtains I have been toying with a similar idea and have been afraid to take the plunge!
Best wishes,

I am actually digging those curtain rods. They seem to keep popping up in various interior decorating blogs I visit. I love the clean, contemporary style, and the fact that they're not straight across means complete privacy and no light leaks. Have you seen them anywhere? I haven't had any luck with my Google searches.
I love the fringe on the curtains. Look forward to seeing your pictures – you're such an inspiration! ; ) Trina
happy birthday! Where in wilmington/philadelphia did you go?? That is an hour north of where I live and I would love to know of some cool places to visit.
beautiful room! post pics of your curtains when you finish them!
Happy (late) Birthday!!!! I can't wait to see the curtains!
