Kay, hope you are feeling okay this morning. Caffeine jags are definitely no fun, especially when they wear off.

Bonnie, I am always envious of people with pools and then I always remember the maintenance and get over it pretty quick. :-)

Jim, maybe the color will continue to grow on you. Four years after installation, I like my orange/ochre countertops more than ever, but everything else except the floor and a wallpaper border are white, so it isn't an in-your-face-all-the-time color. You could try the easy experiment route. Maybe tack up sheets or curtains or even tablecloths in colors you might like to go with the walls? Live with them for a bit to see what complementary color appeals to you most before you go to a lot of trouble in repainting or going around the orange? Not so hard on the back...or the knees...or the shoulders...LOL. Although the colors did not reproduce truly in this picture, you can see how the white tones down the counter and the border balances it with the red. You should have seen what it looked like when I bought the place. Weird colors, plywood countertops, missing cabinet doors. Lots of work done and still to do. And I have time. :-)

My boss is a creature of impulse (ADHD) and decided I needed a new bedroom set. (don't ask me why, I dunno) So he buys this big huge set of Bassett furniture that is much too large for the size of my rooms and now I get to figure out how in the world to set it up and still have room to walk around it. :-) Have a couple of kids coming over after work today to help shift the furniture, spread the mulch still piled in the driveway, and empty some junk from the garage. Not too much outside work today for me, though. Supposed to be 96 degrees and better than 70% humidity. plllbbbbpppptttt. But they are young and hale and hearty and I have great expectations for their production today. :-)
