Ramblings of a Certifiable Nutjob

Buying the house was tremendously stressful. The hardest part was dealing with E-Loan and obtaining the mortgage. Radically simple, my ass.
It needs some interior redecorating. We're convinced that the prior owners were color blind because we refuse to believe that anyone could have such sucky taste in colour combinations. Three different kinds of blue. Not shades, kinds from Robin's Egg to grey-blue. And a fairly energetic blue in the mix, too.
Thankfully the soft butter yellow in the living room is actually very pretty. And they left behind touch up paint for us to fix the scuff marks. They actually marked all of the cans of paint. And even the one that was nearly empty was useable - it had the formula for the colour on the lid. So I got a new gallon for touching up the dining room.
We have already painted most of the second floor hallway walls in a nice taupe which happens to look something like hot chocolate. I also got us some fresh carpet (on sale at Lowe's and it was still damned expensive in the end because of all the square footage and the labor to do the stairs).
One of the bedrooms is in desperate need of repainting, which I haven't gotten to yet. It was sponge-painted - very unevenly or I would find it more liveable. I did repaint the door and the closet doors but the colour did not turn out as I had hoped - a taupe so light that it looks white. I picked that colour when I was planning to do more neutral colours. I was in a hurry to repaint those doors because they were a stunning shade of hooker red, despite this being a child's room.
Our bedroom needs a fresh coat of paint because I'm not fond of white walls and because they did not do a good job painting it.
The third and fourth bedrooms can wait. The fourth is on the third floor which we plan to renovate so it seems senseless to bother repainting it. The third will be third on my list.
I have so many ideas for fixing this place up but I have to choose my battles because of our budget.
Damn, I wish I were rich.
