We worked more in the new place yesterday. I managed to get all but two of the cabinet doors up, and those last two doors can’t go up until I paint them (they weren’t painted with the rest of them because I couldn’t get the door handles off). We got a lot of the bedroom done, and we’ll probably need to do another coat on the whole room before we do the trim and stuff because there’s some really obvious uneven spots in the dark blue and the light blue will need a 2nd coat anyway. While I was putting up the cabinet doors yesterday I found two cans of bright sky blue enamel spray paint, so I used that on the door knobs on the bedroom door and on the heater vents. They’re all purty now. I spent some time last night on Lowe’s website looking at potential lighting for the bedroom, because the ceiling light in there now is awful. You can sorta see the “beams” in this picture, at least one of them is a heating duct. They both jut out about 8″ from the ceiling, and the light we’ve got in there now is mostly blocked by the ducts. I’m looking at getting either a pendant light with a short chain (otherwise Eddie will be constantly smacking his head on it) or something like this that will hang down a bit more than the typical flushmount light.

Eddie’s coming home at lunchtime so that I can take the truck and hit the fabric stores for curtain materials. I’ve never made curtains before, so this should be interesting. I’m bringing my sewing machine to Mom’s so that I can work on things over there while Mom and Brian are off in Florida next week and we take care of their animals, since we won’t have access to WoW for something like 10 days. This is also a sort of trial run where we get to introduce Chaucer to the other animals, which will also be interesting.
