Tomorrow evening...
I'm going to paint our bedroom tomorrow. Our electrician has finished the change-over from knob and tube wiring to brand-spanking new modern wiring upstairs. The holes are patched and the walls are primed. Tuffy P has asked me to choose the bedroom colour. She knows I'll resist my desire to paint it John Deere green.
Then we'll move our extensive bedroom furniture (our bed) upstairs from its temporary home in the living room. Later, the living room will become a library.
It seems we have done so much since we moved in here, yet there are still so many jobs to do every day. Tonight, though, we vegged and watched two episodes of The Wire (on the strength of many recommendations, we bought the first season on DVD).

So what colour did you pick? I love reading about all the house changes - it's somehow more satisfying to do things bit by bit than walk straight into a 'perfect' home. This way you really make it your own.
Are you loving The Wire? I've seen all five seasons - it just gets better and better.
I haven't picked yet. I've decided to decide at the paint store after work. In our last house, we painted everything white, then filled the walls with art (we have a lot of art). I've bucked the trend by painting my music room a very pale muted grey. Tuffy is the Minister of the Interior, and normally I leave inside-the-house choices to her. This will be a fun little adventure.
Yes, I think The Wire is a remarkable show. I'm looking forward to seeing more and more of it.
I am wondering how you are going to resist the urge to do a "painting" on the walls, rather than just choosing one uniform colour. Wouldn't the bedroom make a good installation?
It would Zydecofish, but on the other hand, we have plenty of art by other people and we really enjoy looking at that.
Wow, sounds like you're getting a lot closer to spreading out in all the rooms. Now you can actually get a carpenter to come and measure for shelves for books! Awesome!
I am so glad you guys got The Wire...you won't be sorry. And every season gets better and one of the payoffs? Cameos by Steve Earle in last two seasons!
It's tremendously well done, isn't it?
you're going to have a library? I'm green with envy
We have way too many books and we're fortunate to have a room to put them all.
