a) it was a bitch-and-a-half to put together. I believe it was a 2-person job but that's not how i roll.
b) it's cheap. during the shopping portion that's great, but during assembly, not so much.
But it's up, and while less real estate than my bricks-and-boards leftover from college, i'll make it work. (Bulk trash collection was the other day but someone adopted my cinder blocks before it came. Glad they got a good home.)
The color is from Lowes, "pink wink," and i actually brought in a letterpress card i printed to match because i really love the (discontinued) paper:
So, the plan I guess:
-finish painting, maybe Friday evening I'll complete it. I have above and behind the door, above the window, and some touch-ups left. Then of course the door itself, which i'd rather just replace but i can't find what i want.
-paint the trim and door frame. Plain white or glossy black?; ) Probably white. bah.
-paint the wood of my desk chair and an "A" hook (thanks, mom!) glossy black.
-figure out how to hang my collection of framed art and pictures. Over the chaise (aw, there's a kitty curled up on it right now.) i think.
-oh, and most importantly, get myself organized!!
