It's amazing how much work new pillows can do. I also got a new rug and throw blanket, however, the other Lauren has already spilled various foods on the rug so I won't brag about it too much. The blanket's the softest thing ever invented.This table is a personal favorite. It's completely beat up but lovely and unique. Built from shipping crates and painted black, I think I could figure it out if I spent the time to really try. It pulls apart, so the odd drawers go left and the evens right. See the pull on the left there? Imagine pulling it to the right and two drawers staying on the left column and two moving to the right. Maybe I should have taken more photos? I'd like to add wheels to the legs so that pulling it apart is easier. Right now it's on carpeting and in such a tiny space I never get in there, but some day (hopefully when I move in May) I'll have more space to utilize it and not just admire. That's when the wheels would be most appreciated.
Everything is cluttered and depressing in this apartment. My wishlist for a future apartment? Hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, kitchen flooring that's not peeling up, maintenance people that actually fix the ceiling when a pipe in the apt above me bursts, or don't make it difficult for my cable man when he comes out here to rewire their 30 year old cable. The countdown begins. Seven months to finish my thesis, get some publications, find a job, a new place, move.
Yes!! We stole it that July 4th we were all there together! It was a temporary poster since a few stops were blocked off for the holiday. We probably grabbed it riding home late after rooftop pool or bar time with you. :)
That trip was super fun. I hope Lauren takes the internship there so I can visit DC all the time.
