And now for some pictoral goodies showcasing what's been going on w/ the state of the house post move-in. I'm far from done, but we're getting there.
Dining Room:
Our Bar Right after we moved in:
Our Bar Now... almost done
Dining Room table
Kitchen:
Our new "counter space" via Ikea right after I finished assembling it:
|
Two people for assembly? Pshh, please Ikea. |
The counter now:
|
spices and knives to be wall hung once I'm not scared
of drilling into concrete. |
The Kitchen wall sans pictures:
Voila! Pictures:
our kitchen stove, etc right before me moved in:
Kitchen now (i feel though as if it is lacking bikes hanging from rafters above):
View from the Kitchen into the Dining Room:
Heading Upstairs
The family wall. Yeah. Needs "something"
Hard at work on that 'Something":
The Family wall now. Love me some bunting.
Office (Das Buro):
Yeah, it's messy. But I'm getting there
(and no, that is not my desk. That is Mr Bama's I've been relegated to use)
Yippee I have a place to "do stuff"

So that's all well and dandy, and theres a whole lot more of the house that I have barely touched yet, for example:
The Living Room:
|
hide yo eyes. |
And of course, there have been some aesthetic bumps in the road:
Like this beauty that was hanging in the dining room
|
flock of seagulls anyone? |
and this AWESOME government-issued couch in a shade that goes with everything:
|
I have always wanted a purple multicolored uncomfortable couch! Finally!!! |
I guess the name of the game is just improvisation. Take this as an example.
Need a side table but all you have is an unnecessary amount of architecture & engineering books? No problem!
|
no, we did not pick out the chairs. They were "issued" to us. sigh. |
So much more to do with the house (and pictures to come), but at least for now I have my side table of knowledge! I am unstoppable.
