We had a very very very nice vacation. We did what we always do in Vail whether it's summer or winter: spent lots of time outside (skiing in this case) and spent lots of time together. The weather treated us very nicely and we had the glorious sort of blue-sky ski days you dream about. Tabby tore it up on the slopes and Ben loved his time with all his people. They both had more sugar and less sleep than they're accustomed to. That's what vacation's about, right?
Now we are back, but instead of going back to our own home, we're hanging with my parents at their house for a few more days while our wood floors are finished up. I love being with my parents, but it will be awesome to be back in our own home again.
Our floors are installed and the contractors are finishing up the poly today and drywall repairs tomorrow and Wednesday. The plastic guys come back on Thursday to take all the plastic down and then we're in!
But of course it's not that simple. First of all, about HALF of what we moved is large and heavy and requires our 6'7″ friend to help us with (bless him). There will be also undoubtedly LOADS of dust to clean up … I will probably be pulling my hair out over it for the next several weeks. In addition to that, we have to re-sit the tub and sink in the bathroom, but only AFTER we strip off the old wallpaper (which I actually liked) and paint it.
So now I must know … what color should I paint my powder room? It probably can't be green … because we already have too many green rooms. It also shouldn't be too dark because it's a small room. What do you think?
During my wait for the dentist I read that 'greyed' colors are in
Like grey with a hint of green or blue to them. LOVE them, too bad I am all painted out… maybe I'll forget what a hassle it is in 5-10 years and get some color in our house for a change!
