The latest projects have included photos, curtains and rugs. There was printing and framing a favorite picture of the mountains to hang on the walls. It was one of the chance opportunities where the light was just fantastic: slightly overcast with sunrays peeking out to light up just Mount Pelmo in all its massive glory. Now we can look at that scene everyday from our dining room wall.
Then the new bathroom curtain was installed with a handmade lace insert crafted by my mother-in-law. We took the bathroom tile pattern and turned it into a lace motif for a custom curtain.
However the most important money went into buying rugs. We waited a full year to get one for the living room so it's just perfect. After it was rolled out, it took the dog exactly 30 seconds to plop down on the new woolly floor feature. He treats it like his own personal extended bed area. It's the plushest rug in the house so he obviously spends the most time there. And now that the spring sun is out? We also have the dog camping out on the other new rug on the terrace. It was officially bought to add some color to the outdoor section of the house and cover some awful tiling. But the dog thinks every rug is for his canine comfort. He dedicates at least 20 minutes a day soaking up the sun on the terrace carpet's bright orange design.
Two more things to cross off the list of house 2011 projects.
Oh, and one very happy and comfortable dog.
Nice! hehehe. You’ve given your dog his personal sun bathing area! Who can resist a soft surface like that! Think of your own bed, and you’ll know what your dog feels. It’s so tempting to join your dog and just relax there while enjoying the sun.

Yes, of course. Comfort is universal in the animal kingdom. Now we want to get a foldable table and chairs out there to enjoy the terrace even more.
