It's time to say goodbye to this trusty old electric cooktop.
Goodbye to water baths for cooking rice.
Goodbye to burners that stay hot after you turn them off.
This electric cooktop has been donated to Habitat for Humanity's ReStore
and hopefully will be useful to someone else.

detail of fabric on the headboard the headboard
Here is a headboard for relatively less money that buying one. It is a 3'X4' blank canvas covered with fabric, in this case the fabric is a damask tablecloth found on the clearance table at a local department store. It was such a find! The biggest expense was the canvas, I try to get them at Aaron Brothers during their one cent sale, buy one and the next is one cent, it's a great deal. Best, Cheaply Chic

These windows are 11 ft tall, finding curtains was going to be a challenge Instead of having curtains made, we went to N.Y. Elegant Fabrics ( 222 W. 40th street) and purchased 16 yards of silk, cut into four 4' sections
Box butler came to hang them, we did not have a ladder tall enough!
