My first 6 weeks as a country girl

Paint confuses me. I brought home a whole bunch of palettes from Home Depot and was immediately overwhelmed. I needed a tranquilizer!

I have to laugh at myself. I'm really very capable, and don't tend to fall apart too easily. I'm even somewhat creative, but paint choices seem to send me right over the edge.

I didn't know that Sherwin Williams will do that with a decorator. I may just take advantage of that. Thanks, Marilyn.

Janet - I got really lucky with the shipping on the dresser. It's $50! The seller will drive it over in his truck. Here's the best thing - He was hoping for a buyer in Maine, close to him. I'm 3 1/2 hours away, but he's going to honor his shipping quote. He's coming next Tuesday. I really hope it's as nice as it looks!

One of the main reasons I don't buy many items, especially big ones, on eBay is because of the S&H. It just doesn't pay. I usually try to figure how far I'll have to drive to pick up the same or similar item, how much gas will cost, and then decide. I've never bought furniture on eBay before.

The couch has free delivery and free "white glove" set up. They'll take it out of the box, set it up, and so on.

I'm very cautious about having large items shipped. What if they only did sidewalk delivery on a couch?
