And that Nincompoop of a girl is painting the woodwork black on HGTV. I'm switching to the cowbody channel.

Oops! I just sent you two a FReepmail that I meant as a post ... *sigh*

At least that's a little bit better than posting what is meant to be a FReepmail.

Now I'll try again ...

Black woodwork! YUK!

Y'all really ought to go amble through a furniture store and see what's out there these days. I keep trying to imagine this stuff in the average home with small bedrooms and it just doesn't compute. Most bedrooms would be completely overwhelmed with that junk. I would feel like I was in a dungeon.

Our first house had black woodwork on the stairway and landing, and the wallpaper in this area was atrocious.......gigantic cat's faces. I kid you not. To make it worse, the carpeting was bright orange shag.

It was like that when we moved in and we could never afford to change it.

This place has all the original woodwork, and I FINALLY convinced hubby that we must take out the living room carpeting and uncover/refinish the hardwood floors. We've done it everywhere else in the house......he has been holding out on the LR for 10 years. But now he says we'll do it this spring. Yay!!!
