It has now been 17 days since my big kitchen fire. NO money yet from the Insurance company! They said they couldn't really do much until they received the fire report from our city fire department, which was faxed last Tuesday. They had to make sure it was an actual accident and not intentional. Hello! Listen to the 911 tape if there was any doubt. I was a shrieking, crying mess.
My contractor is ready to go, my microwave has been ordered, cabinets are complete, we just need a check and all of this mess can be fixed in about 1 week. Except the painting. That is going to take a while.
Our kitchen and living room are really one big great room with a 20 foot vaulted ceiling. The entire ceiling has to be primed, retexturized, and then painted. Then we get to prime and paint all of the walls, doors, trim, and base boards.
And, help, because my husband now wants to paint the great room orange! No, not an actual Florida Gator orange, but a color called "baked clay" and then use "persimmon" as an accent color. My furniture is red! And unless he is planning on buying new living room furniture this stuff is going to clash more than Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan! Yeah, my husband, the decorator, Not! He thinks that just because our yard looks gorgeous that he can now decorate the inside walls too!

That is so incredibly frustrating! You want to be able to count on your insurance company, and when you need them the most, they leave ya hanging.
I really hope it gets sorted out quickly!
I let hubby pick the color of our living room and he now affectionately refers to it as "Mexican Restaurant Green". He also picked our bedroom color but its a lovely, creamy orange sherbet color. Which I would clash horribly with your red furniture:)
