Pure White

Earlier this week, I decided to paint a small 12-inch section of the trim in my office white.  I taped off the area, placed a spiffy little plastic tool under the trim to protect the carpet, and brushed on one coat of Behr's Ultra Pure White paint (the off-the-shelf stuff).  Imagine my surprise that a.) it worked and b.) one of the kitties has perfect aim and got a nice hairball right on the area I had painted the night before!  Way to go, kitty cat!

I think later today I'll try to give all the trim in that room one coat of paint.  But for now, you'll just have to picture it in your mind!

Welcome home!

September 7th, 2010 was a very stressful day for me.  After a very lengthy search and countless emails, phone calls, faxes, and trips to the post office, I finally closed on my very first house!  The whole point of this blog is just to keep everyone who may be remotely interested in the house's progress up to speed.

Let's get some introductions out of the way.  I'm Corinne, owner of said house.  I moved back to Ohio after years of living in the Baltimore/DC area, which I think may be one of the best things I've ever done for myself.  Chloe is the dog.  She's a sweet, energetic Miniature Pinscher who really enjoys helping with paint projects.  We share the house with two cats, Lluvy and Pandora.

And now, the house.  It was built in 1990 or so, and EVERYTHING is original.  Carpet, kitchen cabinets, AC unit, gas heater, washer and dryer.....you name it, it's the original.  That only makes for really fun times of course!

Seeing as it's New Year's Eve 2010, I will end this here.  Over the weekend, I can promise posts full of pictures, maybe some witty writing, and a little more info on me too for the fun of it.
