Our New Old House

Brandon’s back from San Antonio! And not a minute too soon. I was desperate to have a tall person around to help me hang this shower curtain rod!

Somebody asked me what kind I got, so here’s the box. The brand is Zenith, and it’s a shower curtain rod that’s got a maximum length of 66 inches. That’s big enough to enclose our whole clawfoot tub.

We took it out of the box…

Began assembly…

Gave ourselves antlers…

Mounted it to the wall (Too low in this picture. We ended up moving it up about 9 inches.)

Mounted it to the ceiling…

And voila! We have a shower curtain rod!

Brandon also fixed the light while we had the ladder in the bathroom. The electricians put the bowl on wrong, but I forgave them because they were sexy. Brandon’s sexier because he not only looks good, but he also got the light on correctly. Brandon FTW.

That’s one big thing off my list!

Well, Brandon’s out of town for two weeks and I feel like I’m coming down with something, so I’m afraid the updates may be few and far between for a little while.  But here’s what I’ve got from the past week or so:

 The bathroom lights are finished and they look and work great!  The one in the ceiling has a ventilation fan.

My Grandma gave me a couple pieces of furniture to get us started. The bed is nice and comfy and the vanity is an antique that belonged to my great grandmother who came from Mexico.

Once our bedroom was nice and comfortable, I caught Brandon taking a snooze on the bed.

This is always going to be a problem: Brandon’s too long for the bed.

But he’s just right for me.

We stayed in our new old house on Saturday night. I took Brandon to the airport on Sunday morning, and I slept at the house by myself last night. It’s nice and comfortable with the windows cracked open to let the breeze in. The cats love it too. Oh yeah! I haven’t posted about the cats moving in! That’s coming next. Stay tuned!
