I have a refinished vintage oval table for sale - it's high quality and in great shape.
I was thinking of swapping it out but haven't posted it yet.

This will never look alright. To make up for destroying your cabinets by using the wrong tape, these painters should paint now paint them. white or light gray.

I hate texting. It's so irritating, the painfully slow clicking like a stupid monkey at those little keys. no thank you.
Phone calls are so much easier and more direct.

carpet is yucks. When you remove this one, you'll see the subfloor is a little lower so the transition might be perfectly fine if you install new hardwood. Hopefully your subfloor is nice and even.
Even if there's a lip, that's better then carpet.

I'm with you Tewasha. It's an attractive piece that reflects the compelling aesthetic accomplishments of this cultural heritage. Not sure how this translates into racism.

I heard of an electricized mat one can buy to make cats avoid certain spots. I think I would need a lot of these "scat mats" though.

You can paint it if you want, but it will affect the value of your home. Personally, I would pay less for a home with painted woodwork and would try to avoid buying one at all as it's quite a project to reverse your painting. Given two similar homes, I wouldn't consider yours.

You should also check out the brick house dot com. They did a really simple wood slat entrance way on their mid century that's gorgeous and quite smart.

Summit! A smaller manufacturer here in the NY area. Our fridge is cute, stainless, counterdepth, and with a very well designed interior.
It's smaller and energy efficient for about $1300.

This sounds like a great program, except the income and rent ratio sounds crushing. Paying $1055 a month in rent at a 26K income is a recipe for financial disaster.
