Nesting Makes You Tired

I spent most of the weekend working in the basement changing the old art room into the new guest bedroom. This mostly involved shuffling a lot of the old art supplies into the new space and taping and painting the guest room. We chose a vibrant semi-gloss yellow for the walls on the theory that a dark space with no windows should be bright. Is it bright? Well, its definitely Yellow.

The next hard part was wrestling a queen-size bed and boxsprings down two flights of winding stairs. I had to take one door off its hinges and most of the pictures off of the walls to keep them from getting smashed. And there was considerable shoving and pushing to force the boxsprings around some tight corners. Then came the two dressers, which was merely awkward to move down, but it was made all the more difficult by having a kitten dash constantly between my legs in what I’m sure was a brilliant display of speed and agility.

Mad props to our friend Kristen who talked me out of taking apart the box springs to help them fit downstairs and for helping push when they got stuck.
