About a month ago my friend Murphy, a fluffy gray cat, decided to check the adhesion of the wall paper in a rather inconspicuous place near the back door. With just a little pulling, he found that the paper, applied by a previous home owner could be peeled down in narrow strips.
Of course, this meant that the room needed some sprucing up. This room is approx. 12 x 14 and has the desk and printer, our eliptical machine and a desk where I do leather crafts. Why stop there? As of today, all the paper is off the walls of that room, the trim is painted, the living room is a different color, the dining room has been totally repainted and all the trim changed color, the whole long ranch-style hallway has been repainted. All the family pictures and decorative paintings, clocks and other "permanent" decorations have been moved and re-arranged. Our curtains are packed away and new curtains have been bought and hung. All new area rugs are in place and several new spots are now covered with NEW throw rugs. The original spot that Murphy scratched on has not been painted yet. I guess it is being saved till last for some ceremonial reason.
Face the facts. Grown women just need to smell fresh latex paint sometimes.
Men usually prefer the smell of Outers (TM) Gun Solvent.
