Oh The Joys of Buying a House...

The blisters on the hands from painting, the sore feet from standing on a step-ladder barefoot...oh the joys of buying a house. These are what I call the non-monetary costs of purchasing a home, especially an old home like mine.

We've finished painting the dining room (a burnt orange), my bedroom (a very light, organic green), and the living room (a color called Katydid, a warm green color), so we're over halfway done. Thank goodness, I don't think my body could handle too much more of this.
