I guess the fact that tomorrow is already Friday again is kinda throwing me off because I wasn’t really feeling like sitting in front of a computer all day and working. So I decided to do some work around the house instead but I could pretty much only do stuff inside because it’s not really warm enough outside to do much. That left me with a limited list of prospects so I ended up trying to get rid of some of the boxes from the living room…which I must say I have succeeded at pretty well.
I managed to unpack about 4 of the 10 boxes which was a pretty good accomplishment since I really didn’t know where to put most of the stuff. It’s almost all books and knick-knacks that we had on huge built-in shelves in our rental house and we currently don’t have a place for most of them. The plan is to eventually build shelves in the living room for our DVD & CD collection. Then we will shift the bookshelves holding the DVD’s into the room outside the office (we guess) and use that as a library area. There would also be an option to do this in the extra room but we’d need to figure out what to do with some other furniture first…
Anyway, when I started on the room, it looked like this…(please don’t laugh at more poor little poinsettia – I told you I was bad with plants)
And a few hours later, now it’s looking like this. Definitely an improvement. Now I just need hubby to get home so we can finish moving the boxes upstairs into the attic. I decided to move the couch away from the wall where the shelving will be (under the fish) so we can see if we’re going to be happy with the room that way. I still need to pull the couch a bit more into the center of the room but we also need to move the entertainment center and I can’t manage that on my own. I am a bit concerned that we might have to move hubby’s turntables somewhere else or get smaller living room which I know would just devastate both of us since these have been through a few pets now. We’ll just have to wait and see…
