Hi

That is a great house... you'll find more of this sort of thing on the Design Files:

This links to an article on one of my favourite artists - she totally embodies the whole 'riot of colour and texture' - very fitting with the house above.

Some of you might find it useful to use a fitted sheet over the base instead of a valance - it's got cleaner lines and generally stays in place better. Also I use a few nappy pins to hold things together in some places - such as my doona moving around inside of the cover... if you pin the corners it helps a lot. Big pins won't rip the fabric either.

I had the same problem with a neighbours air con - they were running it all night and it was basically the same level of noise as a lawn mower - which is pretty hideous to sleep to. But I did some searching and in my area there is a law that states you can't make loud noise after 10pm and this included using aircon. I'm in Melbourne but I'm pretty sure it would be worth you looking up what laws and regulations are in your area. I just wrote a note saying the noise level wasn't ok and that the law states blah blah and they complied. If they didn't I was quite prepared to take it further.

Good luck!

Great idea! Regarding the tack holes... you can mush a little white toothpaste into them to cover them up if they are not too obvious.
