What else should we do now after the floors are done and after the furniture is in?
We need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings.
I'm the painter. You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains. That will probably be pretty expensive too. Having good curtains made isn't cheap.
You mean we can't just buy curtains already made?
Absolutely not. The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally. So that will take a while. Maybe a month or so.
While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen. I can't stand that old kitchen. I won't be able to cook there. I don't want to use that electric stove.
We need to find an interior decorating company to redecorate the kitchen. I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation. I will look in the Yellow Pages. I'd like a kitchen mostly in ivory and light green.
I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant. You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners.
Me? Cook our dinners? Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook.
No, I don't think so. I'll be too busy having tea in our new tea room.
Well, I suppose we'll have to hire a cook then. So you won't be able to afford any clothes next year.
And you'll have to sell your motorcycle. And your cameras. Right?
Maybe I'll cook once or twice a week. How is that?
Four times might be enough. Not once or twice.
