Web comics aside, life has been pretty crazy lately. The details aren't necessary, but the result has been many a day with said webcomics, and also turning the bathroom into my project. Its a decent enough bathroom, but I am attempting to make a more homely room of this one than our last. In Eugene, our bathroom was part photo-lab, part bio-lab; the bio-lab portion obviously meaning the interesting growth patterns we were so very lucky to observe. Now, we have a new bathroom and are more capable of starting from scratch here. I've done a thorough job with cleaning lately, though it needs a touch up again, and I've accessorized very nicely, I believe. Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and a little creativity have coalesced into something pretty neat, I think. I currently need to stitch-witch a piece of fabric into a little curtain for hiding the TP and CL, get a new piece of hardware for the medicine cabinet so it will stay closed, add a few more girl accessories and then just upkeep. Sounds simple enough, I think.
Also on the projects list is a TV stand made from the remaining pieces of our IKEA bookshelf that we turned into a desk, which will match nicely in the room it belongs in. This would be our IKEA-tastic office in which almost every piece of furniture is from IKEA, the only exception being a table that should go back into our bedroom and be replaced by my upgraded IKEA dining table. This dining table has high hopes of becoming a work table, the only necessary addition being some sort of storage bin underneath for my sewing machine, portfolio, light box, maybe a laptop, and whatever else doesn't have a home here. Oh, speaking of the dining/work table, I forgot that my dining chairs, which are not IKEA are currently in this room... but I would like to upgrade those to *THESE* (p.s. that was a link for the chairs I want). Alex, unfortunately hates these. But, he got to choose the other chairs in the room. It only seems fair. I also like the idea of a rug for "Alex's chairs" to go on in a sort of bright teal, as well as a simple white sheer curtain for the window.
Actually, if we could get this room done, I would be one happy girl (this, sadly, includes cleaning out the closet as well). Well, maybe I take that back; if we could get the apartment looking as fabulous as I know we can, then I would be a happy girl.
To make a telling confession, the unfinished apartment is a big problem with me. It doesn't seem to be any one person's fault, its just not finished. We've all got our own schedules, and anytime anything gets accomplished it has to be a very self-motivated accomplishment. I've never been a good self-motivator, and while Alex is academically... he isn't domestically. Sam? I have no idea; she seems good at self- starting when inspired. I suppose that's how we all are, a little spark of inspiration and *boom* progress.
But, I think that's it for my apartment and life update, as, going any further into this would go the way of bitchy rants. And a promise is a promise: no bitchy rants allowed. :)
I love and miss you all, and I am looking forward very much to Thanksgiving with Alex's family, and a visit from my Mother and sister (and brother-in-law) in December. Of course, I am really ecstatic about going back to California for Christmas!
Its been a pleasure updating you, I will see you all again next week.... or else.
