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 .
