Getting there...

Well, it's been nearly a year, and we're finally starting to get the upstairs bedrooms a bit more finished looking. Ryan's room and our room still need curtains, and Ryan needs a headboard and some things to hang on his walls. I'd like to get a comfy chair for our room, and a different place to put the TV (actually I'd like to get rid of the TV in our room! But that's never going to happen. Sigh).

Tomorrow morning is our preliminary one-year walk through with the builder's warranty rep to figure out which contractors he needs to schedule to fix all of our warranty items. And then the house will get torn apart for a solid day of contractors in and out followed up by a visit by housecleaners to get rid of all the drywall dust. I'm really hoping that they schedule these days of fun while I'm visiting friends and family later in June!

And once we've gotten all the drywall repairs done, we're going to start painting! I'm excited to get some colors on our walls! I don't know that we'll do the main living areas yet because I just don't know what color I want to use, but the bedrooms will all be done and that will go a long way towards making things look finished.

Sigh.. when will the painting ever end?? Just when you finish painting, you just move again. And here I mean "you" as *us*.

What's that thing behind the door in your bedroom?

Nope, the painting is without ceasing. I think that even if you don't move, you probably end up wanting to change colors by the time you finally get everything painted the first time...

And Steph, you're just being mean. You know perfectly well that the thing behind the door in my bedroom is a laundry hanging device...
