Breathing Again

Things are starting to settle down. The house still stinks and the odor is giving me massive headaches and stomaches but it is getting better. The daybed was delivered this morning. The window guy came and fixed the window slider thingy that broke when it was being cleaned. Another just needed a little tightening with a screw driver. I have someone coming for another dump run tomorrow morning; the house cleaners come in tomorrow afternoon and the painter will start on Saturday. He claims that he can get all 3 rooms done in a day - ceilings, closets, walls and trim. Then he'll come back and do the hall, stairway and front foyer - maybe Sunday. I'll get him to come back and do the dining room and living room in the fall - might as well keep going! The floor guys gave me an estimate for the master bed room. Plan is to have that room repainted, new floors and a new bed once we settle into the other 3 bedrooms. I picked up all the paint (light yellow, hancock green, atrium white, ceiling white, super white for trim) yesterday as well as an American Accents Distressed Ivory kit to refinish the sewing cabinet, a mirror frame and for an unfinished bedside table for V's/guest room. This will be a new look - sort of Provincial. Project Notebook. So all I have left to do is box up the rest of the stuff in the closets so it will be easier to paint and reorganize, remove and spackle any remaining picture hangers and take down the rods and curtains that are up. Not too bad! I may even get some knitting done today... knitty archives Picking up stitches along a curved edge Knitting Patterns
