This Old House
Realizing that there are only three full weeks until school starts, I decided today was a good a day as any to try and get at least one house project done this summer. Plus, Sarah left this morning for a week or so in D.C., Manhattan and West Virginia, a perfect time to dismantle the bedroom.
I just finished putting a coat of primer on the bedroom walls to cover up the mintyfresh green that Sarah and I both decided we didn't like after we did it almost two years ago. The green was cool, but not cool enough for a bedroom. I'm going with a dark tan this time around, with one of the million shades of off-white for the trim.
When I'm done painting I'm going to pull up the nasty, gray-that-used-to-be-white carpet leaving the main floor of the house completely carpet-free. This house has nice hardwood floors. I don't understand why the previous owners felt the need to cover them with white carpet. If one of my truck-owning friends has some time this week, I might even head out to Menard's and pick up some crown-molding.
