Phew!

DONE with the painting of the office!!! (with the exception of touch-ups where the "low-tack" masking tape actually ripped the paint off, grr...) It feels really really good to have such a big project done. Our new refrigerator and dishwasher are installed. Our sink is fixed. We cleaned the molasses off of the light fixtures and the inch of dust off of the fans. We pulled up the drop cloths and it looks really nice, even though we are kind of messy painters. Tomorrow I get to move back in, which is actually very exciting even with all the heavy lifting involved. If we get done with that, the less exciting other part will be putting together chairs and furniture. My boss got us all new desk lamps and blotters and standing files that are all matchymatchy. All the sherbet colored paint is gone, and I think the new space looks a few decades more updated. We miiight have also convinced artspace to go in on refinishing the wood floor in the front, which was one of the things we had to scale back when our bids from contractors came back too high during all of this. And there's some confusion on our blinds. But we're soooo close to being done!

NEXT week I'll probably have to get back to getting office work done.
