monster house

Judi was out today with the faux painter to talk paint colors and decorative finishes. The tile is beautiful and will match very well, and Gloria the painter is going to pull a few of the colors from the tile to come up with a faux finish for the kitchen and family room. I think she is going to paint sometime while we're in Hawaii in May, so that we'll all be gone and out of her hair. We also started talking about possible stain colors, and Bissell Jr will get some colors mixed up and we'll preview them on the floor next week.

We had our first major causality of this remodel last night. Mara, our old boxer, must have gotten some debris in her eye and now has an ulcerated cornea. :( The last time she had one it took almost 8 weeks to heal. I hope this one heals better and more quickly than the last time. Poor thing has to wear an e-collar and be confined to the master bathroom because she tries to rub her eye on everything, even with the collar in place....
