The Green Monster

It's finally here:




I'm not sure about how it fits in the room, in regards to the side tables and the ottoman, etc. It's just weird to have a whole couch after so many years of futons and baby ikea loveseats. These are bad photos, so I'm not sure how to explain...



So now that I have my couch, along with all the other things (or at least all that I can do/afford right now), I just HAVE TO PAINT. Then everything can get onto the walls and I'll feel comfortable with what I've accomplished these past two months.

Yay

My sofa is coming tomorrow, my sofa is coming tomorrow!

Week Eight Already?

I'm a bit behind, largely because I haven't painted yet. I have the colors ready, but still haven't gone to the store (on the corner) to buy the actual paint.

So while I have lots of artwork to hang, I haven't yet.

Left on the to-do list:
-paint
-hang curtains in dining area (now office!)
-hang up all the art and the magnetic bulletin boards
-print the last few photos to hang as well as frame two prints

Things that will happen eventually
-buy a shelf type set up for the office area when I have the cash (right now it's haphazard mess of boxes and a file cabinet but it's neat and it functions)
- the sofa will be delivered

I'm fairly happy with the state of things though. A lot got done, and the rest just depends on running a few lessons.

Lamps on a Mission

Tiffany Style, to be precise:



I'm thinking one for the end table that is currently without a lamp.

Mysterious Swag

Ok, I know it's made out of glass...but is it glass that can be filled up with a liquid, or glass that just sits around?

It doesn't even stand up straight.

I am mesmerized by this ugly piece of glass that the city of Chandler felt was worthy of me.

I should probably just put this in the Outbox and get on with my life.

Since I don't even know what a Chesterfield is...

...I bought an Ottoman instead.




My first big purchase arrived this week, and today I finally bought the extra long screwdriver that made it possible to attach the legs. Now it is sitting in my living room, overshadowing everything else- the little attention whore. While it's way too big for the baby Klippan, when I get a big girl couch it will look just right. Or at least that's my plan.

The Great Sofa Decision

Must. Make. Decision.



6 weeks should be enough time to make a decision, no?

I've decided...

tomorrow I will make a decision.
