Too Tired for Many Words. Have Some Pictures.

The red furniture goes a long way to break up the Unbearable Whiteness. Plz ignore tower of boxes by the door.

I wasn't kidding about replacing those white cabinet knobs first thing - the new ones make a huge difference:

There are three holdouts - I just can't get them off. I entertained many fantasies about what I'd do to the guy who put them on so tightly (they are on non-functional, decorative drawers and there was NO reason to crank them down like that). After much cursing and sweating, my fantasy involved a pair of pliers and a sensitive part of his anatomy. So, all but three are done, but I'll need either fresh energy, different tools, or professional help for those. Dammit.

My office is a disaster work in progress:

I am in Crazed Unpacker Mode, but I need to slow down. My back is freaking killing me right now, and I have done all the BIG stuff. I have to force myself to slow down, because I just want it all DONE. I have a life to get back to, and it has been on hold for weeks now.

The very best room of all is ready enough - not done, far from it, but ready enough. I am going to bed before 9.
