reno: day 10

Good news, bad news day.

Good – looks like the demo is done.

demo-licious
pretty!

Bad – found out the granite I picked for my counters is actually marble and I can’t use it. Which is swell considering I based my paint selections on it (and paid the decorator $100 to help me…) Back to the drawing board.

Also put up ghetto curtains:

Was going to go with the Canadian flag, but changed my mind at the last minute.

reno: day 8

Fun stuff today – met with a woman from Benjamin Moore and picked paint colours, whooooo. They sound so lovely:

  • natural linen
  • alexandria beige
  • mississippi mud (well, that sounds ugly…and I am having second thoughts about that one…)
  • greenbrier beige, and
  • smoky green (schmoky!)
  • (why aren’t my bullets lining up? grrrrr) fixed! haha! SMRT

    2. gyproc dust + eyeballs = oweeeeeee,
    3. my fingernails are not going to survive this, and
    4. alexander keith is my new best friend
