Upgrades in the Hizzouse
I'm totally locked out of my house right now. There are two men here applying environmentally sound cleaning solution to my once-white couch in an effort to remove the effects of one (1) dog-owning, red wine-drinking, ciggy-smoking, coffee table dining, dark denim-sporting lady who shall remain blameless.
In other news, the transition of my study from a room into which I never venture to a room into which I often venture is coming along. I've spent roughly 8,000,000 dollars turning my fireplace from wood burning into gas (including: new gas lines, ceramic log set, custom-built metal doors and a custom-built mantel), and another couple mil on wood for the new baseboards and built-in bookshelves. The good news is I'm going to have over 100 feet of shelving for all my literature, tchotkes and picture frames to collect dust upon.
I also found a dresser yesterday for my guest room (and my chief guest) over at one of my favorite local shops for reclaimed/refinished/relatively cheap wooden furniture: Five Green Boxes in Old South Pearl. Granted, it's been painted this kind of barfu shade of lime green, but I have hope I'll be able to refinish her without too much pain/trauma. Now the only thing standing between me and enhanced clothing storage is the fact I have not yet bought the dresser in question. Ah...details.
Oh and one more thing: the hugely expensive custom-made roman shades I ordered for my living room and guest room will be installed next week. It's beginning to feel like a real house over here! In fact, as soon as my kickass dining room chairs arrive (which, with their six-month lead time, could be as late as CHRISTMAS), I'll have you over for a perusal.
