Yay,

Now I can obsess about the fun details.

Moving, paint colors and stuff for sale:


First off - pencil us in! We'll need help loading boxes into a truck on the eve of Tuesday June 29 (my birthday, btw). We'll need help unloading boxes from the truck at the new house on Wed June 30. Furniture - we're hoping to leave to the pros . . . so it should be an easy move.

The last time we moved it was stupid hot and humid out (it was June 28, 2002). Afterwards we caravaned to my parents house to go swimming, and my Dad bought everyone Chinese Food. This time if we want we could WALK to my parent's house to take a dip. :)

I know its the middle of the week and all - but it doesn't hurt to ask for help :)

We decided that though it would be nice to just move in - white walls are boring. Painting though shouldn't take long. Originally we wanted to paint the same colors as the place in Framingham, but the rooms are so small that I'm not sure how dark colors will work. Ideas? For reference, our living room was a garnet/burgandy color (with forest green living room set) and the dining room had deep royal blue walls. We'd either do these colors or lighter ones that complement them.

As to room arrangement, we still haven't figured out what we want to do. We're trying to decide what bedroom to use for a bedroom :). I've decided I want to get a Lane Hope chest and even picked out the type I want from their website . . . it would store a lot of stuff and would let me stop using a small bureau I have. I have no clue what they cost though.

Walls

[dancer.livejournal.com]

"A friend of mine in Somerville put up chair rail and then painted the bottom halves of the walls various really dark colors with a common lighter color up on top."

That sounds like a neat idea - perhaps for the dining room.

The living room will be so packed with stuff you won't see much of the lower part of the walls at all! As it is, we're trying to figure out if our massive entertainment center will need to block the opening to the dining room (in the dining room, we'd have curtains hanging in that doorway to hide the ugly wires and such. It would just fit to the left of the doorway with one shelf unit next to it (to fit stereo components). It would look kind of off balanced though, with the other shelving unit (meant to be on the other side of the center part) on the other side of the room.

Its OK, these kinds of problems are much easier to deal with than the previous ones we've faced :)
