I finally posted some new images up on our Photo Stream. (Update: the Photo Stream is no more, so here are some highlights and a bit of an update.)
I managed to unbox and shelve all our books a while back. It was two days of work, as when I unboxed them, I sorted them into stacks by author’s last name, then started shelving them alphabetically, until I ran out of risers and Ikea no longer sells the ones we have. What I really need is someone with a metal brake and shear so I can have more made, but that will have to wait. I did try Tap Plastics, but they wanted over $500 to make a dozen of them in the size I want.
If you’ve have been wondering what the boys’ new space looks like, here’s a quick pic. The curtains were originally purchased for the french doors of our old place in San Francisco, and they’re now hung on a long double rod with plastic curtains behind them. The intent is to be able to keep some of the dust and fuzz at bay. The large air filter helps a lot as well.
Last pic is the repurposed shed. The POs built it to house sporting equipment, but it’s not really weatherproof enough for such a purpose, so I found a little wheeled potting bench and decided to use it as my new potting shed.
Then there are before and after pics of our kitchen. With just some braided rugs and new shades for the pendant lights, it’s now a very pleasant space.
Granted, we’re still sorting out kitchen table options and the bamboo plant on the counter was on the way to the shed to be repotted, but you get the idea.
So basically lots of little things are done. The last boxes have been unpacked and I can finally say that we are moved in. Of course, we still have a million and one things to do.
