well. yikes. my place is being painted and [gulp] it is bright! i think i just need to get used to it. everyone seems to love it, but truthfully it does seem very yellow and very purple. the primer where the red is going is pink, which is making everything look that much brighter (and i do mean peeeeeenk). pink is temporary pink is temporary pink is temporary. eric is adding the red to the mantle as i type and i took a bunch of pictures during lunch.
the good news is that i am getting carpet. i've had this white and black ancient tile -- we think it is from the 30s. the tiles been crumbling and breaking up here and there -- where my bed frame sits on it, where the desk chair rolls in and out and in the front door. this could or could not contain asbestos. the landlords seem to think "no."
so, carpet = yea. and my good friend and housemate heather who is an interior designer by trade can get us a 40% off deal. ;) cross your fingers i don't have to pay for this upfront (and then taken out of my rent slowly).
