The seller came back and said they would take care of everything we asked for at our current price!
Oooh!! Very exciting and hopeful!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
sj, AWESOME!!!!
GUYS, I painted!! We did -- Dan is doing the edging now, and we will need to add a second coat tomorrow. I will put pix up in a bit, but the pics don't do it justice -- it's a dark hallway.
But I LOOOVE the color! Love it! It's called Peacock Tail by Behr and it's a tealy-morocan blue hybrid, and it's so pretty, and will look great when I get my stuff hung up there. I have wedding gifts I asked for and got 2 years ago stillin the boxes because I was waiting to paint my ugly-ass hallway!!
I've never painted before. I'M MAD WITH PAINT POWER NOW!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Congratulations, sj! So excited for y'all.
Woo, Erin! PAINTING POWER.
I failed at napping, due to excess coffee at brunch. Now I'm up, have washed dishes and pulled out chili and rice to thaw, and am seated with a big Jack Skellington mug of peppermint tea to get productive. Maybe I'll do my nails as a reward later.
Shir, sorry about the fractious day. Hope tomorrow is better.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, Erin! I keep asking when I get to move on to the fun stuff like picking out paint colors. I have been living with boring apartment colors for too long. Although I won't be doing any of the actual painting because of my asthma. That will totally be up to TCG and my father-in-law.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Painting is awesome, isn't it?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Painting is super awesome. It's so very satisfying. And it makes a huge difference for the amount of money it costs.

SJ I wonder if you could tolerate low- or no-VOC paints. I HATE the smell of regular paint, and have happily used a brand called Yolo (no-VOC) and Benjamin Moore's Natura (which is I think only low-VOC but still not at all fume-y compared to regular paint). They are a little more expensive, but in the scale of things paint is relatively cheap.
