Mostly Unpacked... Sort Of

Finally, finally, I have some pictures of the house for those of you who have been curious. Not too many, because, frankly, they're a pain to upload, but enough to give you an idea of how things changed. As I was choosing what to post, I came across the old "before" photos. It was startling, really, to see how much has changed. It is starting to feel like home.

Remember the periwinkle blue master bedroom? Here is what we decided to do. I would have taken a picture from the other direction, but D's somewhat nebulous pile of laundry (Is it clean or isn't it?) was in the way. Sorry for that admission, Vid. You know I love you.

Remember the purple room that took four coats of yellow to cover? We finally got it right. This is my office. Notice Biff and Eeyore in their places of honor.

Here's the living room. The dining room off to the side is nothing more than a table and chairs. Not very exciting really, I promise.

We still have so much to do. My next tasks involve painting the windows in the living room, dining room, and the walls in the bathroom, to be exact. I'm a little tired of the sponge-painted blue polka-dots.

Heading to bed, me. Or, actually, heading to bed with a book to read, me. Wendy Shalit's A Return to Modesty has got me hooked.
