I need to remember my budget and not try to save this dresser that's for sale online. The seller suggests that it's a "great candidate for chalk paint." It's a late Empire piece with matched veneer. In a just world, people would be seized with sudden paralysis every time they tried to paint matched veneer in good condition.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

I think I've mentioned this before but I've been emailing with one of our designers in India whose first name is Karlmarx. Too funny.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh that is soon, -t! Exciting!
I'm not sure I should be as amused as I am at how horrified FB is at my hands.

Zen, someone else may have gotten to it first. This is on a local Facebook "yard sale" group. I did put in a plea against painting. I could see painting the top, which has a badly done repair, but the veneer on the sides and the drawer fronts is lovely, at least in the photos.

The only thing I really feel the lack of in this small townhouse is a workspace. I don't really care that the kitchen is the size of a pocket handkerchief, I care that I don't have space to repair and refinish furniture in.

I'm hoping to find a townhouse with a double garage so I can turn the extra space into a work room.
For some reason I can't get my credit reports online, so I called to request them. It will be a couple of weeks at least before they show in the mail, but at least I finally put in the request.
I also talked to one of the mortgage people at my credit union to figure out timing. So my next steps - call my dad to say that I'm really trying to make this happen and we can request pre-approval in March, save money, do what I can to clean up my credit report, and not freak out.

There are brand-new townhouses with double garages for sale near me in the 240,000's. I'm just putting that out there.
No, I'm not moving just for a garage. Even though I want one.

Where are you again, Zen?
The thought of moving elsewhere has flittered through my brain since my job is more mobile than it was when I moved here and the kids are adults. But I really like Colorado. Just need to import more Buffistas.
