On my way home from the bus...

susandennisSo, on the bus, I get an email from Sheri telling me that one bidder on painting the table pulled out and the other guy says it will cost $780 plus pickup and delivery - oh and they need to pick it up next week and it won't be done until the middle of September (well, the 9th but that's close enough). And they have to know today.
I was so not happy. What the fuck am I going to do. I don't like the table $880 worth... maybe $88 but even that's a stretch.
And then I saw the furniture store half way between my house and the bus stop. And I figured it was worth a look through just to clear my head. Mustafa Omuroglu (and there's a thing over the g that I don't have on my keyboard) asked me what I was looking for and I told him and he opened up a catalog and made the easiest sale of his life.
Now I have to figure out what to do with the table I have... but, I've got 4 weeks...
Here's probably a very naive question but is Mustafa's long pinky fingernail for coke?
In other decorating news, the valance rods are up... no sign of the fabric yet but it's going to be very doable. A whole lot of photographs got some very wonderful frames - this is for sprinkling around the bookshelves and they really are going to be wonderful. Sheri did a magnificent job matching picture to frame. And she's got a couple of more left todo.
I have new pillows for the living room which look great.
I have measured the electrical box and took the cover off the phone jack thing - it's going to need it's own box or I can just make a bigger box to do them both which is probably what I'm going to do. Tomorrow, first thing, I'm off to get the goods.
Things are wrapping up!
