Curtain-raising

My household projects have been few and far between since Ivy was born. But today when I was cleaning the kitchen windows and blinds, I realized how much light is blocked by the curtains.

Super dark...

I discovered that the easiest way to clean blinds is by taking them all the way down, and giving them a good wash in the tub. That's why the curtains come down too. So with Ivy in the exersaucer and Harrison yelling at me to get down, I quickly moved up the brackets that hold the curtain rod.

please ignore the paint on the cabinets... but I moved the bracket about 12 inches higher

When I hung the curtains back up, it's amazing how much brighter the kitchen is... and it's not even sunny today!
