No, Martha is not physically going to be helping me paint tomorrow. But she'll be there in a way--I bought some of her paint at Lowe's today. Tomorrow, along with some awesome friends, I'll be painting the office a color called Caribou. Its a latte-ish-brown-ish color. The ceiling color is called Yellow Caneware.
Today was productive. We hired cleaners and they did their thing at the new house.
The house's former owners didn't do much for the upkeep of the home. While some of the carpets are nice and new, others are an eighties shade of blue with yucky stains.
The kitchen has cranberry stripes on the walls and matching cranberry cabinets.
The former owners, while nice people, let the greenery take over the house. Vines wrapped around and covered all the railings on the front deck. (This morning, while trying to get rid of all those grape-bearing vines accidentally rid an egg-bearing huge spider of its nest and left many insects homeless. I also ruined my new garden shears trying to attack branch-like vines. Next time, I'll use a borrowed chainsaw instead.) Vines climb the back of the house--and the inspector seemed to think we may have poison ivy. We've got a humongous overgrown shrub in the front of the house.
You can say we have our work cut out for us. But Eric and I are really excited about it!
I promise pics will be coming soon!

take a shower when you're done and DON'T RUB YOUR SKIN UNTIL YOU DO and you should be fine with the poison ivy. It's easier to avoid than most people think.
I'm not sure if there is poison ivy. Haven't caught anything yet!
