The Pee Room Gets a Makeover!

You may recall last autumn when my cat's staunch opposition to her litter box culminated in the forced removal of a large portion of carpet in our study. You may also recall that I dubbed this corner of the Pee Room the "Death Zone" because its stench was enough to make you want to wage war (on whom was irrelevant).

Well, take a good long look at this picture--the color of the walls, the lack of carpet--and prepare to be amazed. The Pee Room has undergone a major renovation, and I had the foresight to document each step of the process for the four people who will read this. No need to thank me. 

Step 1: Prime

Subheading: Goodbye, "Hypothermic Barney" Green!

 Step 2: Paint - Take One

Subheading: "That's so not 'Yogurt.'"

Sub-subheading: Whoops. 

 Step 3: Paint - Take Two

Subheading: Right paint, wrong trim.

Sub-subheading: "That looks like baby diarrhea." 

 Step 4: Assemble Futon

Subheading: "Can you hand me the instructions? Oh nevermind, I'll read them in French."

Sub-subheading: "F**k this!"

 Step 5: Document Typos in Malaysian-Printed Futon Instructions

Subheading: "Oh, we were supposed to lossen it?"

Sub-subheading: "Ah, yes. 'Matress' with the less common one-tee spelling."

 Step 6: Rage

Subheading: "We might as well actually read this in French."

Sub-subheading: This is, in fact, not where I want to be.

 Step 7: Woman-Assembled, Cat-Approved

Subheading: "Taffy, if you pee in here again we're putting you up for adoption."

 Step 8:  We'll Call it Good for Now

Subheading: My family recommends furnishing a room before touching up the paint. That couldn't possibly end badly.

 

Stay tuned for updates from the newly painted Pee Room! Some things to look forward to: a new desk, artwork, blinds, a lamp that my parents did not steal from me.
