It doesn't seem to end.
More and more painting has occurred in our house. The living room is now blue, and all furniture has been moved into place in that room. The foyer and hallway to the upstairs bedrooms have now been de-wallpapered and patched and primed. The main bathroom is now blue and green. It has new blinds, new drawer pulls, new towel bars, new towels, and new rugs. The office has new blinds, too. The kitchen has new rugs and a new valance and wall clock above the sink. And there are new towel bars waiting to go up in the mud room bathroom and the downstairs bathroom.
Saturday and Sunday were more painting days, and yesterday was a shopping day. We bought not only the supplies to dress up the kitchen and bathroom and office but also a new table (and benches and chairs) for the dining room and a new entertainment center for the family room ("Labor Day Sale! Everything Must Go!"). Whew! We were pooped from walking around all day (especially the girls--how boring, I'm sure, for them to watch us deliberate among three shades of green hand towels), and we still didn't get everything on our list.
However, little by little, we're making the home feel more like us.
P.S. The furniture pieces will be delivered later. For now, we've outlined the table on the dining room floor using blue painter's tape. It looks like a crime scene outline! We're practicing walking around it and getting used to the floor space being gone once the real table arrives.
