HGTV and TLC lie!!!

Today I planned on re-doing our bedroom, well in true Jessie fashion anything that could go wrong did. I tried to save a little money and dye the table covers from plum to chocolate brown--after washing them according to the dye package and rinsing them numerous times I finally put them in the dryer and lo and behold they came out PLUM. What a waste of a couple hours and gallons of water not to mention the money spent on the dye. In the end I have to buy new table covers anyway. I had Doyle put the curtain rods up a while back in anticipation of the new curtains (the old ones hung there until today) and after washing, drying, and ironing the new curtains I hung them up only to find out the rods were too high for these curtains. I thought I had ordered the same length as the last ones, but I guess I measured them wrong or just didn't get the order right. Doyle will be fixing that little problem tomorrow after work. Then I move on to the new bedding believe it or not that part went rather smoothly considering how everything else in the make-over went. I still have some things to finish up and some clutter to get rid of but I was just done with it for the day. I couldn't take anymore disappointment--I had been looking forward to this for quite some time and it just didn't live up to my expectations. I should have figured something like this would happen when it took me over 2 months to get everything that I ordered. Let's just say it will be a while before I tackle another home improvement project--it just never goes like you think it's going to. At least it doesn't for me!!!
