the_siobhanThe Gin Palace has been re-organizing a bit - I have some of my mother's new furniture, we have set me up with a permanent office upstairs away from the cats, and we have given away Carlin's old tank. So it made sense to shuffle the furniture around and try to find a configuration that works a little better in the space we have.
And since we're moving all the furniture anyway, hey, why not fix the paint, which has definitely seen better days.
So Friday was spent packing everything up - emptying out every bookcases, shelf, filing cabinet, desk, and drawer. Boxes were stacked next to the bed, filling my office, and taking up all the floor space in the kitchen. All the furniture was stacked in the middle of the room, away from the walls.
Saturday we pulled down all the shelves. I walked around the room with a tube full of ready-mix plaster and filled in every hole, ding, gouge and crack. We took all the cover plates from the plugs and light switches and stacked them in a box where we can find everything once we're done.
Today, finally, were were ready to start painting. I covered all the spackle with primer while Axel taped off all the corners and spread drop-cloths throughout the house. I dug out all the rollers and brushes while Axel pulled the lid off the first can of paint.
It's the wrong fucking colour.
