So the new and improved living situation had not quite reached its full potential. When I moved in, it was adorned with florescent green walls, pale pink victorian style couches, and an array of depressing telephone wire paintings created by 2 tenants prior. hmmm. some work had to be done. I hit up Home Depot for paint and other renovating supplies- a few plants, a rug, fabric to cover the couches, an electric stapler to do so, a paint tray, plastic sheet to put on the floor, and PAINT of course- almond sunshine I think I chose. Picking the color was a trip- the HD employees were quite impressed with my impeccable pronunciation of the paint color names. I made a show of it- butterscotch, oatmeal, springtime yellow, beige mist, golden showers, etc. but I wouldn't quit my day job- how to mix and apply the paint was a bit more difficult. I eventually got all of the details down, though, and was on my way. Here is the before and after. Yay!
