I'm going to paint all the trim white. It is currently a color called "Navajo White" which is what color white becomes when it's trapped in a house with a family of chain smokers. The country style of the '80s wasn't pretty, folks.
I complain about wallpaper but we will be re-papering the ceiling in the bathroom. I found some embossed paper that looks exactly like those old tin ceiling tiles. We considered the real thing but at $25 each tile, I think we'll go faux. I've always wanted a fancy little powder room!

While bored at work yesterday, I added a Amazon wishlist widget to my blog. I don't know if it will serve any purpose other than revealing my massive dorkitude (yes, I like artsy pop-up books and have questionable taste in music!) because family members who normally buy me gifts don't even know that this blog exists.
But, I got to use the word "widget", which (oddly) makes me happy.

if you found it online, i'd like to know where. Chris's house is from the same era, and he just plain can't afford stamped tin (though i think if we end up tying the knot i might buy the stuff for "him" as a wedding present...).
