Guest/game room?

I don't know what to call it! It's the room-between-the-hallway-and-the-"summer"-kitchen... or maybe the "guest suite living room". Now has a distinctly Mid-East flavour. Just need to bring in a few plants and a camel and we'll be fine.

The curtains... put up the curtain pole over the window after carefully measuring the length of one of the curtains. Hung the first curtain and went to unpackage the rest (each one in its individual plastic zippered-up bag, and the window needed four. Was feeling pleased with self since, armed with the laser level, hadn't made dumb mistakes like the first ten times hanging curtain poles. Second curtain looked a little different. Was different. It was a different colour and it was fake suede. Realised that the curtain used for measuring was in fact the odd one that was going to be converted into cushion covers. Ok... still have four, all the same... only... half the length. Oh, heck. These were the ones that came from the shop in the outlets that was closing down (and were subsequently a terrific bargain), but ooooops. They wouldn't work. Not at all.

Had to make a detour to Medford... Target saved the day :-)
