Before (and yes, these pictures are poorly lit, but I was in a hurry to get started with the project):
After:
I really wanted to have everything all set up and in place by the time that Kevin got home, so that he wouldn't have to lift a finger, and could just enjoy the beauty of his surprise.
But it turns out that isn't how it happened.
First of all, I've never used a drill before. I figured it out as best I could, but then I ran into a second problem. The windows in our house are all surrounded by a metal plate under the drywall! How the heck was I supposed to drill through that?! I tried, and the drill skipped, and I gouged the drywall...so I figured I should stop trying before I broke a window or ruined the walls or knocked the house down.
So, Kevin ended up installing the curtain rods himself. But, he was a good sport about it, and didn't really complain about the fact that I had added to his already very long to-do list.
