Bedroom - In Process

Go away dark, dark blue!

Worse than one solid navy-ish blue wall, who paints an entire room orange?!  When the sun comes in, it looks like one is standing inside a carved pumpkin with the candle lit!

Who paints a wall that color?!

just a little info

So, I have been in the house for 3 weeks now and there has been a lot to do...and it's not over yet.  I'm still unpacking and there are still walls needing paint (painting pictures yet to come).  I seem to have figured out the "I can paint the walls" part of having a house.  But I can't seem to get to the "it's okay to vacuum at midnight" or "the dog can go out whenever he asks and doesn't need to be on a leash" or the "I have time" and "it's not a lease, it's a mortgage" part of all of this.  I should figure that out soon enough, I suppose.  Just takes some getting used to.

It is a very quiet neighborhood.  There's little more sound than the guy across the street obsessively blowing the leaves out of his driveway, and the patter of squirrels running across the roof and the dropping of black walnuts.

The ducts/vents have been cleaned.  The blinds are up in all but one room.  Half the upstairs has been painted.  The roof is done.  The electrical is updated.  And the random sink is downstairs next to the random toilet - the starts of a second bathroom.  However, there's very little unpacked.  I think I aught to be making that more of a priority...at least in the parts of the house that are painted already.  :-)

My little cards with the new address will be sent to you as soon as they come to me!
