Okay, lemme explain. You remember the last time my sisters visited
and I had this whole foul odor in the guestroom problem. I put them
in the TV room and took the carpet our of the guestroom. That left
paint spattered linoleum on the floor, one wall of the bedroom with a
wall finished (deliberately) in rough, 4" wide wood "facing" planks
and three walls in white. The paint spattered linoleum is light
brown - dark beige with dark brown and white streaks. It's also
spattered with white and green paint.
I want the room to look presentable and be mostly dog proof while not
spending a lot of money. I figure I can paint the floor and seal it
with something, hang tab-top denim drapes, put a couple of Pier One
rattan cube tables in as nightstands, some colorful throw rugs from
Pier One (they have some nifty stuff and, as a stockholder, I suggest
that you all go check them out). That way all our friends can have a
decent room to stay in when they visit and if their doggies have an
accident it's not a big deal. Since it's the coolest room in the
house I have an idea that our son-to-be will want to hang out there.
