I am so freakin' excited! I already have the plans in motion for the colors going on my walls in my bedroom. There is already existing evergreen carpet that is fairly new. The walls are currently painted Strawberry Shortcake pink. It's hideous. That is the first thing that has got to go. So, in order to keep things consistent with the evergreen carpet, porches, window trims, etc I am going to paint my ceiling evergreen. I think it will look pretty good with white walls and a green ceiling. The two upstairs rooms are sort of doll-house like so, the paint job will probably only empasize that, but I think it will be cute. :-)
Brad wanted to paint his walls red to go with his red and black theme he has going now. But, the existing carpet would make Bras's room like Christmas all year long! *LoL* So, he is open for suggestions, guys!
So, it looks like August 6th is the day we get to start moving in. Woot!

And, speaking from experience, painting ceilings is a giant pain in the ass, but when you're done, that muscle that connects your should to your neck, it's going to be huge. Like if you could figure out how to lift things with it, instead of your arms, you could lift, like, a bear or something. A big bear, not, like, a koala or something.

A thought
Green carpet, sounds good. Pink on walls, bad. Deep green looks good on the outside IMO, though perhaps give some further thought to having the ceiling green. I will make things look smaller, as well as making that room darker. If it was me, and its not, this is just a thought after all, I'd stick with white on the ceilings as well, and get some of that border paper to put at the tops of the walls to help break up all that white.Green and ... Gray is a good color, it goes with nearly everything. Black walls? A deep dark blue perhaps? A door, yes, I have learned just how awesome those are indeed. ;>)
A far as a table and such, I recomend looking over at Grey's farm, off of the room towards Horseshoe Lake. The sell used stuff, and some of it is quite good and very afordable.
Also, send my measurements for the door, I may be able to get one for free. I love scrounge.
I don't know if Steve mentioned it, but if you all would be interested, I am thinking about hosting a BBQ over at my place this time (you guys hosted the last one). I make some really awesome steaks, and I can help you cook other stuff as well. I'll be using a gas grill to save time on getting it all lit. :>)
Let me know if you'all are interested.
