Monday, I was tired and sore from the busy weekend, so I didn't go over there. I came home and slept from 4pm until 5am. I woke up for about an hour and a half to eat dinner.
Tuesday, I took the laptop over to the house because AT&T said I could set up my internet connection. NOPE!! Another hour on the phone with 3 different people, and can't try again until next week. SIGH . . . I'm not real happy with them so far. I hope I have better luck with Directv tomorrow, or I'm canceling both of them, and going back to Charter cable. After that, I started cleaning up the kitchen walls to paint them. I painted where the frig is going and the pantry . . . both places with big appliances I don't want to move later to paint.
Here's a pic with the tan on top, the original yellow at the bottom, and the new gold in the middle. I don't think I like it??! I think I'm gonna ditch it, and go back to the tan . . What do you think?
I just think it's too "yellow"
I wanted something a little more "gold" and this looks too "buttercup" to me.
So, Robert has been working on the baseboards and crown molding this week . . .
Wednesday, I stayed home again and packed some more . . . master bedroom stuff and master bath. Mostly decor. Robert worked more on the baseboards, and got a chop saw with a bigger blade.
Thursday, I went at lunch and looked at the sectional we want to get. I had found one at Stacy's furniture for $2000, but after I told Robert that price (and he freaked) I started hunting down a cheaper alternative. I found this one at Sam's Furniture in Haltom City.
It will be flipped so that the chaise lounge is on the left next to the fireplace. This one is $1200 for the sectional and ottoman. Not crazy about the pillows, but that's easy enough to switch out.
After work, I went to Walmart to get more cleaning supplies. Then I went to the house, and cleaned the guest bathroom and kitchen. Robert had been using the sinks and tubs to clean up paint, and I wanted to clean it up before it got REALLY tough to get the paint up.
Today, Robert came up to my work at lunch, and I took him to check out the furniture. I think in the next week or so, I'll go back and order it since it takes a couple of weeks to get it.
Robert's tired, so he didn't go to the house tonight. I went to Garden Ridge for a little shopping. I was looking for barstools, but didn't find any I loved for the price. I found a glider bench for the front porch, a small table for next to it, a small pot for flowers, an electric lantern for the table, and a small bird bath. I'll post pictures of it tomorrow when I get it all set up. We also got the chair hammock that I got for Robert for Father's Day in the mail from Amazon. We'll put that up tomorrow too. See ya then . . .
