#84 Paint guest room, including trim

Shakes fist at self, why "including trim?" Well because I know if we don't do it soon it will never get done. Three walls are painted. We're wallpapering the fourth wall. But it's painted. Ralph Lauren "Arrow Wood" Suede. I'd show you a picture, but it just looks like this paint sample. Because the furniture isn't going back until we've completed the wallpaper.

#86 Buy chairs for dining room

I wanted to take a picture of the new chairs in the dining room because they look so great. These came in way under budget, and the dude only had to spend a couple of hours putting them together. Even better news, my job was to break down the boxes and get them ready for recycling, which was today. So it was like the chairs have always been there. No mess waiting for trash day.

We also got the new drapes for the living room. This weekend we are painting the guest room and picking up the paint for the living room and hallways. See, the dude promised me the carpet would be out by the end of summer. And he thinks we should paint before we pull up the rug. And summer's almost over. We have a very strict schedule so that the carpet comes up over labor day weekend. And suddenly, our house is our house

#88 Hang Maps in Guest Room

I know I've done this one ass-backwards. I want to paint this room, and I went and hung the pictures first. Here's the thing. It's hot as fuck in the master bedroom (even with central a/c) so we're sleeping in the guest room. And I hate the plain white walls staring at me. So I put up the maps. And curtains (#87). It's better, but it will really be improved when we get the walls painted.

Sorry for the poor picture.

I also went crazy online yesterday and bought blinds and a filing cabinet (#79, #81, #92). Now we're cooking with gas.

#30 Catalog books

I've started a catalog at Library Thing. Cataloging would go a lot faster if we had internet access at home. Maybe I should work on that.
