My dad changed the locks on the house on Sat., due to the strange people seen leaving the house on Friday evening when I drove up. Yeah, that was a real treat. I think I may have spent to much money on some fancy named locks that oh yeah self lock, so here's to hoping I can remember to make sure the doors are unlocked. I do have a valid reason for the fancy locks. As you know I am a REALTOR an with that lovely jobs comes re-keys. Well, the fancy locks take a good 30 to 60 mins. for the guys to get in. The lower end locks take oh.....5 seconds. I decided to go fancy and yes, that comes with a nice price tag. You should have heard my father, "Does Derek know how much of HIS money you are spending on locks?" "Well, it's in my account so I guess it's mine to spend." Insert evil laugh by me.
Better after picture to follow.
We have popcorn coming down tomorrow and hopefully some paint colors and baseboards picked out before the end of the week. I did buy a nice "ugly" rug as my dad called it. I would love some advice on paint colors. So far Derek wants about 5 different colors of gray.....yes gray is his new neutral.

Since I live someplace with super-low instances of break-ins, can I go for the cheap locks? We want a knob that the kids can open so we don't have to open the door every time they want in and out. (And I think Derek would fully approve of the expensive locks based on past experience.)
I think the rug is fun, I like the colors, maybe I'll feel different when I see it in person. I have a hard time with gray paint because I have seen it look almost like a primer on the walls. Perhaps a gray-bue in some rooms? I love my blue bedroom, it feels calming to me.
