He’s totally right
The closing went very smoothly. It was a bit slow – but very, very smooth. When we’d signed papers for about 45 minutes and then waited for another hour for them to be filed – we got the good news. We’re officially home owners. The lawyer shook our hand and said “Congratulations and welcome to debt.” Yeah - he’s not wrong. But we’ve still got $80. Par-tay!

Right now I’m enjoying a little champagne and looking at the list of stuff we’d like to get for the new chateau. I’m thinking the burnt sienna blinds in the bedroom are going to have to go – but some projects can wait. I do only have $80.

We’ve already dabbed big splotches of paint on the walls. We’re sticking with all the paint color decisions but one. We’re dialing back on the teal and sticking with Waterfall (Benjamin Moore if you’d like to consult your color wheel). I was a little freaked out by the Stem Green and the Pear Green when I first painted them but they dried much darker and nicer. The pear looked totally neon when I first put it on the walls. I nearly passed out.

And the painter called to tell us that he can start our project a little earlier due to the bad weather they’ve had – thwarting their outdoor projects. I think we might do a little painting ourselves this weekend. I found a fantastic golden yellow to paint our office which is more of a dusky mustard/green right now.

Plus Deeps is itching for a project – so I figured this was a good one. I’ll watch him paint and after he spills half a gallon of Firefly on himself, I’ll take over. I’m really just looking for an excuse to buy one of those painter overall things.

I love accessories.
