Late night Flickr inspiration
Lars and I made a list of all the furniture we need once the two front rooms are finally renovated – Long story short- if anyone has 3000 bucks lying around – uh, send it our way.
Something we’ve committed to getting are a couple of Expedit bookshelves from Ikea. Imagine my delight in finding they fit vinyl “record albums” as snug as bugs in rugs.

Just looking at this picture and all its tidy-ness is making want to jump out of bed and start priming the living room.
Steps yet to go before $3000 shopping spree can commence:
1. Sand the ceiling
2. Patch holes in the wall and any gouges in the drywall
3. Prime the ceiling and walls
4. Paint- paint- paint
5. Install new fixtures
6. Sand the floors
7. Stain the floors
8. Finish the floors
9. Install baseboards
10. Cry….drink….cry…. shop!!!
















If you need any help with steps 1 – 10 let me know. Especially 10. Well, the drinking part of 10 anyways.
I don’t know if you remember, but we have an expedit in our dining room. I have to say, it really does hold record albums very nicely! Also, it doesn’t do to badly with dust bunnies, kids books, stacks and stacks of mail, and creepy porcelain busts of Spanish ladies. I’m just sayin’.
This looks very, very nice. I’m envious. I’d like to see us do something along these lines and integrate some foliage with the books, media, etc.
Only one more coat and you can move on to step 5!
