Home improvement
Apr. 19th, 2007 08:52 amIt is already Thursday. Where does the time go? July will be here before I know it, and there is still so much crap to do! I realized yesterday that we have plans for the next SIX weekends. And then? There are only 5 left! *gulp* And we still have to find time to go to IKEA. Maybe Memorial Day weekend? Gah, I don't know.
I don't want to go to work today. I would rather stay home and hang up pictures in the dining room, and clean out the kitchen, and hang Jen's paintings in the guest room, and find something to hang in the living room over those screws the previous owners had in the walls. The previous owners of this house were interesting folks. I think they had secret fantasies of being on "Trading Spaces" if their decorating schemes were any indication. I especially think of their daughter's room (the Ugly Room, if you will), with its painted blue ceiling, painted pink and white stripes on the bottom half of the walls, yellow princess wallpaper on the top half of the walls, and a pink princess border between them. Did I mention that the ceiling is blue? And that since they used wallpaper up top they didn't really care that they got blue paint on the tops of the walls? And the stripes are all different heights since the wallpaper was covering them up? You should see that room. I should take pictures. I didn't when the wallpaper was there because it was too frightening, but perhaps you should see the goofy ceiling and stripes. It's ghastly.
So yeah. I don't want to go to work, I want to do fun home improvement projects that don't involve wet basements or drain de-clogging. And when are we ever going to get to our yard? Man, it takes a village to make a house look good!
