Yes, it’s a rental, but all this time it’s been sterile white in color…EVERYWHERE and frankly it was getting on my nerves. \u00a0For starters, it shows EVERYTHING. \u00a0Every smudge, every scuff, every bump by a backpack, piece of furniture, etc. \u00a0Secondly, I like color. \u00a0I just do.<\/p>\n

It took us a couple months of phone and e-mail tag with our property manager and homeowners, but last week we got a go-ahead. \u00a0Dave and I didn’t waste any time getting the paint on Sunday. \u00a0As of tonight we’ve done about half of the job.<\/p>\n

With everything back in place (except for that bookcase on the left).<\/p>\n
