The painting man is here. Look what he did to our living room. There are 20 buckets of different tools, rollers, brushes, plastic sheets, and paint cans. Linda is home for a few hours between her classes. We've been hiding out in the bedroom with the door shut while he works to stay out of the way. He'll be here for 4 or 5 days, so it's going to be tricky to find a place to hide once he starts in the bedroom. There is always downstairs, but since there is no heat vent in the family room, it can get very chilly. We'll have to bring the portable heater and blankets to keep us warm. John had an idea for the cabinets, but he was too busy to tell her about it while he was working. She'll talk to him tonight after church. The new foyer and hallway light will be hung tomorrow. Linda found a pretty one with bronze leaves winding up the chain where it hangs from the ceiling. When Linda was having her cabinet meltdown yesterday, she had to go to Lowes to buy new cabinet handles. She HAD to do something, and it was the only quick solution she could think of. They had the best selection of fun hardware.
She really wanted the green lizards (or geckos?) They are almost the same color Sarah picked for the kitchen walls. The lizards would have been so amazing that no one would have even noticed the fake-wood grain. Since she needed 19 handles and they were $6.00 a piece, she decided that over $100 was silly to spend to make her feel better. She ended up getting plain bronze ones for a fraction of the price. (Where is that line from... Here Lizard, Lizard... It's from a movie or TV show, but she can't remember where she heard it.)
