rearrange my apartment

I think that before I go to bed tonight I will have gotten the main room downstairs in order.

The kitchen needs to be re-arranged and sprayed for bugs.

Let me review my last entry and see where we are.

[1] Downstairs we still need a nice piece to put behind part of the couch. It should have shelves or drawers or cabinets (or some combination). With this we can place correctly the last of the clutter that is keeping the downstairs from being labeled as done.

Mostly done! We bought it last night and my wife, who assembles drawer based furniture will build it tomorrow morning, so I can almost see the end of the major rebuild of the downstairs! Still outstanding: new smaller chairs. Soft but straight-back.

[2] Upstairs in the extra room we need the new digital TV or need to decide that we will not buy one. We need to rearrange things a lot to eliminate the clutter. Also we need to find a new home for the paper shredder.

Paper shredder is now downstairs but needs yet another home. We are on the verge of deciding against a new TV for the upstairs, as we just don’t have space for it. But it is still open to a major discovery. The big new thought on it is that we need shelves or organizers for the closet in the upstairs room. That may help with a lot of outstanding problems.

[3] Kitchen needs serious rearranging.

Still does!

[4] Bedroom needs something but I do not know what.

Still don’t. Maybe art and dusting is all that is left to do there!

Almost have a real home! ;-)

Not calling this one until we actually finish cleaning up the apartment. All the furniture is here and we are still up in the air about the new TV.

Here! Now! And they did not get the design wrong! :-)

Is ready! We will have them deliver it a week from Saturday!

The futon has improved the upstairs room quite a bit. Now we need to do the preliminary work on the downstairs before the sectional arrives. Move and rewire the TV, move the CD rack, clean up the papers all over, etc…

Comes Friday between 4 to 8 pm. Hopefully without incident. This is step two of changing the upstairs room. Step one is to destroy the old desk that I now hate, move out some books, and also my old desk chair.

Step three will be the HDTV.

Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch! Ordered a couch!

Ordered a couch.

In two weeks a futon and then a LCD TV. Add to that the espresso machine my house is getting cool!

(Imagine that as Kirk in the Wrath of Kahn screaming “Kahn!” with that weird above looking down camera angle.)

We found a perfect futon for our upstairs room. No go. The only comfortable pad is out of stock, and the cover we want is $10 more than listed in the showroom.

Ikea!
