That's odd... it's quiet in here!

The painters are gone, and it is quiet in my house. It is still messy and discombobulated, and the whole place smells like paint, but it's quiet. It's even a bit warm in the house, at least where the sun is shining in. We had to turn off some of our radiators because they were painted, and then started smoking when we turned on the heat last night. Guess they needed more time to dry or cure or whatever. That was fun -- all the smoke alarms went off and the place smelled wretched! Now, I don't mind the smell of nice clean latex paint -- but smoking latex paint is another matter. ;-)

Only two rooms got done, but they are beautiful. Next up, the dining room, then the upstairs bedrooms. Then the carpet gets ripped up and the floors get redone. Only after all that is done do I get to see the new furniture that has been purchase, but I've seen the pattern and it is gorgeous. Pictures will be shared when it is all ready, don't worry!

I am torn now -- shall I do laundry unimpeded because we are all out of clothes after not having access to the washer all week? Or should I do something fun to take advantage of the quietness?

Hmmmmm.... :-D
