Wifey and I have split up decorating responsibility by room. The powder room is one that falls under my responsiblity. Yay!
So we grabbed that mirror we had our eye on at Lighting By Design.
It’s going to look perfect against a Pierre Deux wallpaper pattern I picked out.
I measured each wall and did some quick math to figure out that we need four double rolls to cover the powder room. And I thought I’d never use math again 
Greg, the sales rep told us that our closing date will probably be moved up 2 to 3 weeks! Excuse me? The builder is really ahead of schedule at this point. We’ll know our exact closing date after the parts for the kitchen are delivered.
We’d better start packing then! We rented some storage space last week and started packing up all of the small stuff. Several times a week, we drop off what we’ve packed and put it in storage. Hopefully we’ll have everything but the big stuff moved by the time we close. I wish we’d bought a big SUV a while back
We stopped by the house too. It looks like they’ve got all of the interior doors up as well as crown molding and chair rails. I like the view from inside my study.
Things are moving so fast that I almost forgot how much we have to do before the big move. We’ve got to pack our stuff, of course. But we’ve also got to rent out the lower level of our duplex that’s been our home for the last 4 1/2 years. To fetch top rent, things have to be pretty tidy, so we’ve got a lot of “home improvement weekend time” ahead of us before the apartment will be ready to start showing to prospective renters.
I’m not a very handy guy. I’ve got a great book from Home Depot about how to do all kinds of home repairs. It said replacing the garbage disposal would take me 2 1/2 hours tops. It took me 8 hours and I electrocuted myself. And it’s still not working.
I’ll need to refinish the hardwood floors here before we move out. The book says 15 hours for beginners. That means 3 weeks for me
