Weekend updates

This weekend was quite productive, from a "nesting" point of view. I helped my roommate paint our downstairs a bit. Both the living room and the entryway have fresh splashes of color! Fun stuff!

The one wall in our entryway is now a yellowish color. Sounds icky, but really looks great. It'll look even better once we get a new key-hanger-thingy. Our little black cabinet looks really good against it.

The living room is now partially cranberry red. Just 3 walls are red, so the other 2 are still white-ish. Yes, not quite white, as we found out while trying to touch it up. Oh well, it still looks awesome, in my opinion.

The next room to go will be the tiny downstairs 1/2 bath. We're thinking kind of an apple green, namely because that's the spare paint that some of our friends have lying around. Should be neat.

We're trying to get our third roommate to paint her room, though finding a color might be tough. She's got a stinkin' huge room, but she also has very bright colored furniture. It'll be challenging, but we're confident that there is much progress to be made. Keep you posted.....

By the way, I ordered a desk online from Target today. There was "free shipping," so I clicked the little button next to "1 day shipping." Yeah, that basically more than doubled the price of the desk. So I went back and clicked the "3-5 day shipping." That's the shipping that was free.

Amended advertising: "Free shipping on really, really slow stuff." Though granted, that's not as catchy as "Free shipping."

How was your weekend?

Your living room has three red walls and two white walls? Hold on, let me get a calculator. . . yeah, that's five walls. Do you run the Defense Department from your couch?
