Thanks Diana! I will post pictures next week if I get everything done

After the painting's done I'll need to hang pictures and I still need to buy things like a shower curtain and bedroom curtains, etc. The stuff I have now just doesn't match!
That's a good idea to tie Layla up in the kitchen. I do have a plastic coated wire too, but I'll just need to unpack it

The other thing I could do is just close the door in the laundry room, but I think she would scratch it up, and already the smell in there gets pretty bad when she uses her pad in there because there's no ventilation... with the door closed it would only be worse. Hopefully we'll try something that works! The best case scenario is that she turns into a perfectly trained dog overnight
