Home Improvement

How many shades of blue could there possibly be? What exactly is Shore Club Blue? I feel like I'm looking for a striped tie to match a crest on my blazer for a christening (yacht, not child). I thought I had come to know too much when I learned of Perriwinkle. Yet, we finally decided on a color for the second bathroom. Now the fun part, painting. I think I may save that for next weekend. One step at a time.

We seemed to make a commitment to dedicate March to home improvement. We have 2 bathrooms to work on, including painting, new towel bars, shelving and hooks, lots and lots of hooks. Amy even hinted in an overhaul of the medicine cabinet, or at least the door. When I pointed out that it was imbedded in the wall she seemed to relent to the latter. We also have a futon to remove, a bookshelf to move, a desk to bring in and a chair to find for the living room. We haven't even made it to the other rooms that need lighting, paint (possibly) and maybe even more furniture.

I made an attempt to move to some more energy efficient lighting, but I have not had much luck finding lights that Amy likes. Hopefully we'll be able to find something she can live with that will reduce our daily energy needs.
