We've met with our home decorator twice now, and have a lot of our family room and kitchen picked out. Some of the family room furniture is on order, so we have to get cracking on the painting and hardwood flooring installation. We're going to some stores this weekend to pick out samples of paint colors, carpeting, and hardwood floors so we can show them to Jamie next Friday. That'll be the first time she comes to our house after we've picked out a few things.
Oh that reminds me. When we were picking out the family room, we decided to put some artwork above the fireplace. We wanted to show Jamie what we like so we started googling Ed Klink to show here some examples of what our Honeymoon painting looks like. We discovered that the artist had passed away. It was like a punch in the stomach. We were then worried that the prices of his paintings would skyrocket (if they hadn't already), so I started calling all of the galleries that carried his work, trying to pickup a triptych or diptych. When I spoke to the people at the gallery, they were quite sad about Mr. Klink and some knew him personally. I really felt bad for them. They also said that Mr. Klink's family had been picking up the paintings, so we knew we had to act fast if we wanted any more pieces. We ended up buying two from a gallery in Wyoming, which wasn't really in our immediate plan, but it was really our last chance to pickup some of his work, which we love. It's weird, but I think we'll miss a person we never actually knew. Anyway, the reason that reminded me is that the pieces should show up next Friday. We can't wait to get them.
