Like when you realize that no matter how much you have to do at work, no matter how annoyed your boss is, when something happens to your house there is no argument: you don't have lives to save. You are the one staying home with the repairman.
This has its perks. Like... hanging out at home with the dog.
It also has its downfalls. Like, staring at an unfinished bedroom that would look a million times better if a) there was a picture ledge on the wall*, and b) there was no underwear on the floor.
But mainly it has its perks. My favorite: getting the real story from the repairmen.

Woah. I have to say I like your "after" better. Although there are so many different things you could do with that peptobismal pink wall! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, he may be off saving lives, but you've got street smarts. Excellent way to get your projects done! And your bedroom looks so cozy and tidy now... love the trays on the dresser.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great looking bedroom! Is that a jadeite tea cup on your dresser, by any chance? I only ask because I love all things jadeite.
