Paint, Comet, Unpacking...

Ahh! Can you taste Goal #2? It's been met as far as my room is concerned!

My new room is painted and wonderful! Guevara and I went to the paint store on Monday, and then came home and painted our tails off. We re-did the bathroom (a pretty teal color, new shower curtain, etc), and my bedroom (a deep, warm yellow) in just a couple hours. It poured out all day, so it was perfect for such indoor activities.

I also ended up scrubbing both bathrooms top to bottom, oil-soaping my room, and painting my closet and the bathroom closet. On Tuesday night, after Turner arrived, I moved my things in and unpacked. I had pretty much all of it done that night, and it looks so good (as does the bathroom). (Pics to come!)

Then today, Guevara and I cleaned the kitchen. Big time. We removed everything from the cabinets, washed all the shelves, cleaned the fridge, and then...the stove. First of all, I have to say that Comet cleaner is the best stuff around. It is what got the bathtub sparkling clean, it's what got the kitchen the same way, and it's easy, and CHEAP! - Just .59 cents at the Chinese grocery store! I used it on the hood of the stove and got the stainless steel grease-free and mirror-like, then on the stove top, the backsplash tiles, and -the dreaded- under the stove top. It was so gross, but is now so clean. After also cleaning the floors, the place is looking great. We are going to buy a stainless steel shelf to display pots and pans and stuff, and after that, it's on to the living room! (Again, pics to come!)
