Perfect, Ginger! A couple of quarts should do the whole upstairs.
Exactly what I was thinking of.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That's so awesome that you can just take off the top layer of ugly and find beauty underneath. I can't wait to see pictures.
Wow, Erin - the wallpaper sounds lovely.
Lemme take a moment to caution against using polyurethane indoors. I've worked with it frequently for furniture and the stink is mind-altering (literally.) If you go to any paint store you should be able to get a clear satin latex glaze (usually used with tints to do effects) that won't make your eyes water. You can also get matte, but satin gives that little bit of lustre. Plus, easier to clean up any smudges or messes. Home Despot doesn't always carry it....i know benjamin moore makes a really nice product but it is more spendy that other brands.
eta: ooh, actually that polycrylic linked isn't polyurethane and looks safe to use inside, plus much more resiliant than a glaze base. nvrmnd
I tweeted and FB'd the wallpaper pix; I'll have to wait to add them to photobucket, because I think I am going to take a little nap.
I have a teeny little hangover.
Already posted to Natter, but here's the link to the house pictures I've been so slack in posting. They're here.
We still have SO much to do! I'm trying to be patient, but I want it all done Nownownow!

Neat!
Barb, your house looks amazing! I love American houses with big porches that you can sit on. And all the artistic touches are beautiful.
People are coming to build a second desk in my office today (long story involving an ergonomic assessment that said my current desk was ruining my neck, but I want to keep it to put things on anyway). Poor Hamish the Hamster has to move out of my study, as a result. She's currently on the landing just outside the bathroom. I'm hoping that's not too unhygenic, if I keep the bathroom door closed. She'll be lonely downstairs - I mainly live upstairs.
Shocking fact - using half as much cleanser ( unintentionally because my travel bottle is low ) after eye makeup remover doesn't, in fact, leave your face clean. Does a decent job of leaving you looking odd until you rewash your face. Or looking like you've been crying or hit. Doesn't clean your face though. Now I know.
