I haven't featured any photos of my bedroom lately. Here's a photo of the ceiling vent cover and some of my bookshelves. I love my blue and white checked curtains that have been remade over and over since 1972. They started out life in a NYC rental for sliding glass doors going out to a terrace. I purchased the fabric on the lower east side. xo

I've always loved checked fabric. Can't believe your bedroom curtains are 50 years old. Look great!
Hi Rosemary ... Guestie here again.
Your project turned out masterfully ... kudos.
And, I have a story for you. I have an old Sears Kit House Bungalow over on the Eastern Shore, the "Winona."
When replacing sheetrock in the basement ceiling, I had no helper ... so I resorted to holding it in place with my head ... while I balanced and got the first two starter screws going.
Projects !!!

I love your sharing the background of your checked curtains. It just goes to show that those things we hold dear and really don't want to part with can be refreshed and enjoyed all over again!
When I bought my 1849 home five years ago, I unpacked curtains I purchased while renting an 1820 home back in 1987. That house had six windows in the parlor. Mine has five now and each one of them has been dressed up with those curtains and their memories.
