bronwynrhI've added a few pictures to my picture gallery, so if you care to see some more of our home improvements. . . Our latest accomplishment is the guest bath, which looks *almost* perfect. I say almost because it needs a new vanity top and new fixtures in the sink and tub, but with a Lowe's debt that would choke a horse, well, we stopped at paint and new lighting and hanging stuff.
In any case, it looks beautiful. You'll have to take my word for it, though, because it's a small bathroom and I don't know that I'm good enough a photog to represent it well. I may try later. Think red, gold and green. Rich, but simple and calming.
We're getting new countertops, by the way, which is why we took so many liberties when painting. So don't write to me saying, "you got paint everywhere!" We were just going for effect, at this point. I was supposed to take down the cabinet doors today so I could finish the walls, but it didn't happen. My motivation meter was set to LAUNDRY and DISHES and not much else. Oh well. So the kitchen will be more done late this week, when our new countertops come in. YAY!! I'll be out of town for that, up at Northwestern playing with scary chemicals.
Unless Matt changes my plans for me. He's good at that.
Still no word on the move, only rumors. I don't know what's going on, but I DO know that Matt has spent the past four days in Chi-town. Yes, he went to a dissertation defense but he spent the rest of his time at the United Center. I'm sure I've spotted him in the hazy background at some point on ESPN or CBS, as may have some of you.
I plan to leave for Chicago on Wednesday afternoon, so let's hope he has something meaty to tell me before then. You know, so I can torture myself over it and Jeff and I can be forced to discuss everything over the phone for the first couple of days while the Decision settles upon us.
That's it for this rambler. Louisville was seeded 4th? What?!? Duke sucks.
ETA: I tried to represent our bathroom efforts, but I fear I failed. You can get an idea, maybe, of what we were going for, but my photog skills suck. Guess you'll just have to stop in for a handwash if you're in the neighborhood.
