You should see the house now

I am more than pleased actually, I am thrilled with the way the house is shaping up.

On Monday, Chris and I got a lot done. He finished hanging pictures, hung the three heavy mirrors, and installed curtain rods in the apartment. I cleaned the refrigerator in the apartment and started going through bins to see what I want to keep and what I want to give to the Peace Committee's Attic Treasures Sale. It feels so good to purge more stuff, though I know I won't finish before I go to Maryland next week. There's always next year's sale.

Tomorrow and Friday, we are going to start painting the basement. The walls will be yellow (officially Sherwin Williams' Compatible Cream) and the floor will be brick red. There are not many colors to choose from when it comes to concrete floors. The cinder blocks on the outside walls will be white, they won't be seen, but they need to be water proofed again. They look like it has been years since it was last done.

We also are going to paint the bi-fold doors of the storage cabinets chalk board black and we are going to paint a rug on the basement floor. Those were Chris' ideas and why not? It'll be such fun.

I hope my friends and family will come to visit soon.
