after work friday i found myself with some unexpected free time so i decided to go to a few home stores and see if i could start putting together a more comfortable space in the den.
i think i hit about 8 different shops in an hour and a half, and i came home with a couple of microsuede ottomans (ottomen??), some striped pillows and two swanky wood folding chairs (for in-a-pinch extra seating). i felt good. progress!
i was productive today, too:
* went to flea market at the fairgrounds. found a groovy new telephone table for the den (as well as a totally girly pink flowery handbag).
* went to home depot and bought new switchplates for the kitchen, as well as silver spray paint for the kitchen lighting project.
* went to world market and bought another chair for the den.
* brought all the loot home and rearranged the den with the new stuff. it looks good!
* vacuumed the den.
* installed new locking doorknob on bathroom door.
* installed new switchplates in kitchen.
* sat down. put my feet up. watched last night's episode of "what not to wear."
* began two painting projects with lisa's help: spray painting kitchen lamp, and painting the cube table.
* ate burgers ray grilled. totally yum.
* wired and hung new kitchen light.
* touched up paint on cube.
* cleaned up.
what's surprising is that i didn't think to photoblog any of this.
