Hey My Sexy,
Great to hear from you again. I hope this weekend is enjoyable for you. Nice to hear the interest generated by your newspaper ad has lead to a sale. And, it is always nice when closets get freed of clutter. I feel the same way, and myself even have another few loads to Goodwill. I've got a stash of cardboard boxes I will bring on March 3rd, to help with the move.
Nessa and I are doing better today, still a little sick. Thanks for your sentiments of well wishes. Got a lot done since this last email. Being sick hasn't stopped me (or Nessa). Nessa & I went to Home Depot & got some shelves, which I installed on the wall where the stairs meet the lower level (along the same wall as the fireplace.) I used anchors rated up to 50lbs, and piled books onto them. In doing so this has freed up more space, and the shelves themselves look quite nice since the woodtone pretty much matches the trim.
I went ahead and painted the bathroom last night. The color is called "Porcelain Peach." In fact the funny thing is it matches the sink exactly, even though I had no intentions to match anything. It actually looks so much cleaner in there with the fresh coat of paint... several years of splashes, toothpaste, shampoo, had made the walls all spotty looking. The satin finish will be easier to wipe clean than the original flat paint. I even got fresh new faceplates for the outlets/switch in there since I spattered the old ones, and new ones were only 44 cents. I do in fact need to reapply a second coat to some parts of the bathroom-- I only got a quart, and it was not enough to do everything plus a second coat, so this morning during our Home Depot trip I picked up another quart.
Today I hope to also begin painting on your room. The spackle in the torn out anchor holes has dried and I already sanded it. I think the paint will probably make a big difference, the walls in there are pretty dingy. I think the doors of your closet are pretty much beyond repair. Not only have the downstairs closet doors been removed, I also pulled down the ones in mine/Nessa's room and replaced it with a double curtain (after it fell on me when I gently leaned on it while painting). So probably we might want to take down your doors too--one half won't even bend to close. Then hopefully we can just take them all to the landfill one day.
Will be thinking of you. Will catch up with you later. Have a great & special day!
Love Pumpkin
