a simple change

Sometimes you just need a little change. Maybe no time for much, but just a little breeze of a change. I've wanted to add some kind of curtain at this door-less door frame going from our bedroom to the "anteroom" connecting to our bathroom. (It has a counter and a sink, and I call it either the "anteroom" or "the room I really don't need.")

I was so busy last week with a project I had very little time to devote to home, but I felt the need desperately. It somehow gives me a lift to do something little and quotidian. I found a slim tension rod when I was out at the store. I came home and searched through my grandmother's hope chest (at the end of the bed) and found some old lace. Then I went to my ribbon box and found an old ribbon that was both green and blue (the color of the two rooms that the curtain would divide.

I had mentioned the idea to the Gardener on and off and he wasn't impressed with the thought. But I did it anyway. That night I went to bed before him, hoping he wouldn't trip on it or something as he hadn't seen (or at least noticed it) yet. The next morning he admitted he liked it! Just a small change, bringing a smile!
