So today the door was shut on us moving into base housing.  The only way it will happen is if we end up getting another tour in Hawaii and we could then possibly move into housing at the end of the year.  However, I'm not thinking we will get another tour here (there's just not a lot of jobs for Dan) so I've been thinking about how I can really make this house our home.
For some reason kitchen curtains are at the top of my list.  The previous owners left some chicken curtains and I really hate them.  I didn't want to sew them because I seem to not have a lot of energy for that lately, but I'm not sure I'll find anything I like for a price I can afford.  I looked on pinterest and found this picture.  While I don't like the fabric they used, I do like the muslin mixed with cotton.  I think i even have muslin in a bin in the garage somewhere...
I think what I like the best is how clean the counters are.  Ours are like that once every two weeks right after the cleaning lady comes :)
