i hired a handyman to come on thursday. the ac and cable guys come tuesday. i ordered a piece of the same sectional i have, so my couch will be longer but not chaisey.
and i moved the buffet so that i'd have room for an island.
i even hung shit on the wall, removed the closet doors and hung curtains in their place — hinging them together to make a screen out of them.
i DID have a couple snafus, though. i dream of hanging shoe racks as curtains on one of the windows. so i went to home depot for a stud finder, knowing it would weigh a lot. they sent me home instead with butterfly clips. (i think they were butterfly clips. three 1/2 holes drilled later, and it didn't work. i also bought bed risers for under bed storage. the legs of my bed are too wide for them. so i tried to cut a groove with a utility knife. yeah, no, they're going back tomorrow. the handyman is going to have his work cut out for him ;{ |
