How to Hang a Curtain

How to Hang a Curtain

 

Last night we went to visit Sacha in his apartment. I was surprised to see that he had taken  the colorful things out. Happily surprised! It was a furnished apartment… but he had the owner de-furnish it.

Sacha's touch was apparent… red is his color, he has preferred red since the day he could point. Red is his favorite color because I ate a million strawberries while pregnant with him, plus the fact that I was picking strawberries in the forest when I went into labor.

Sacha rolls his eyes whenever I say that.

But I know it is true.

As I sat on Sacha's bed with black sheets, French Husband and Sacha put up red curtains.

They put up the rod, measured the curtain, cut off the excess, glued the hem, ironed it and then hung it.

An adventure for a non handy-man husband and a creative son.

I know I am nuts when I iron the bedsheets on the bed, but look where these two ding dongs were ironing the curtain.

Creative ironing must be genetic.

I had a front row seat.

Front row seat and loved every minute of sitting back.

A broken wrist has some hidden advantages…. sitting back is one of them, not ironing is another.

  1. They are so Cute!!! I was cracking up that their pants were sagging in the same exact way. What a joy for a wife/mom to watch her guys in action, right?

  2. So funny Corey. It’s so great to watch how our sons decorate their spaces over the years. I loved how they glued the hem too.

  3. Ah, memories…..our son loves any shade of blue and beige/brown so his dorm room at UCSD (he was lucky and had a single for 4 years) was done in these colors, and the color scheme continued on with each dorm room and finally his first apt. at Princeton. These colors remain to be his prime colors no matter where he lives ;-)I didn’t eat blueberries while pregnant and don’t recall eating much chocolate either ;-)But colors do say alot about a personality, as I understand. Red….bold! Sounds like Sacha, oui?

  11. OMG Corey! the Handsomest Dynamic Duo!

  12. Sometimes, when I see the title of your blog stories, I just know it is going to be good. This one was very fun. The discussions between the “decorators” must have been amusing too.

  20. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_flag#Flag_etiquette
    “One of the most commonly ignored and misunderstood aspects of the Flag Code is section 8. ‘The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.’”
    Who knew? I didn’t, till just now.

  21. Ha Ha
    Good job!
    Too cute

    Looks like a fashion shoot for Levi jeans. You are so lucky, a father and son who like to hang curtains together. Says so much about the abundance of love in your family. You are blessed.

  23. You’re a very brave woman posting those pics, Corey. Women everywhere will be swooning and fantasizing, wishing they could have men like that.
    And they double as eye-candy when the work is finished!
    Win-win!

  24. Coco’s brocante and soft porn site.

  25. they look like brothers rather than father and son….and i like it!!

  26. Ooo, la, la…lol! Yes, casts have some advantages, like bringing out the chef in FH and the designers and creative problem solvers in Sacha and FH. Very, very sweet!

  27. Brenda, Walker, LA, USA

    I can just imagine you positioned in your seat, smiling, head tilted, enjoying the scene!

  28. Not bad at all! Jacques Garcia style 😉

  30. Jude Jackson

    Merci beaucoup!

  31. This is fantastic — beautiful pictures of handsome and clearly resourceful men.
    Surely the strawberries had much to do with the whole affair.

    Corey,
    Sacha is an Amaro hottie. OOO LaLa

  33. Two sexy men………

  34. ooolala. that is all.

  35. Oh, my! That picture of French Husband is just tooooooo much. I may need to make that one my new “wallpaper” for my computer screen! (with your permission, of course!). Is it not amazing watching your little boy transfer into a lovely young man, right before your eyes? I can imagine his “dance card” will never be empty!
