LR Update

My living room is awesome! But we're not done yet, and I can't post pictures of a half-finished room. Spring semester started up today, so my painting time has been severely curtailed! But in snippets of an hour or so at a time, I am up on a stool with a teeny paintbrush painting the bead that runs around the top of the wall around the room. It's very satisfying because it makes such a big difference in the overall look of the room; adds more sophistication.

I know I said that Sunday we would work on the trim, but we were both so sore after painting for two days straight, that we just put the room back together and took it easy. It was worth it - just what we needed. So, hopefully in the next week or so, we can find some baseboard trim we like and get it installed. Best thing about this project? I get to buy a chop saw! It's about the best thing to have in order to make perfect 45-degree cuts and whatnot. I think I'll use it a lot, seeing as how I hope to be creating canvases to paint on and frames to finish them with!

Meanwhile, I found this cool site that shows you the popularity of your name in years gone by. Evidently, there haven't been many new Twilas created in recent history. ...And by recent, I mean the last 40 years because, you know, 40 years isn't really THAT long of a time span. Why, someone in their 40's would most assuredly be considered young by all accounts. Wouldn't you agree?!

First, 40 is but a child (do I get a prize?!) Second, what website is that? And can't wait to see your room... I must admit I've had a sneak peek, but can't wait to see the whole finished product. When did you say you were coming to do my house?
