Our new sofa arrived! It is awesome. It is a grown up sofa. (The sofa we currently have feels more like a teenage IKEA sofa.) It looks pretty good in our red living room, don't you think?
Brandon moved all his plants over to the house. They seem to like the sunshine on the deck quite well.
This Columbine is a volunteer between the flagstones below the deck. Pretty!
This is the gargantuan lilac bush in the back yard. There's another that's just finishing flowering, but it is not nearly as gargantuan.
Some of the local fauna.
Yesterday Brandon changed the locks and reprogrammed the garage door opener. I think it gave him a feeling of power…
He also took down the pink crocheted curtains in the master bedroom. He didn't like them for some reason. Can't imagine why.
Here's where we enter... the closet zone.
That's the end of the master bedroom. You can see there's a closet down there, and what looks like space for another closet that was ripped out.
But if you turn left at that closet...
...you find this closet, which was actually once a pass-through to get to the bathroom (but the door has now been blocked off with a shelving unit in the bathroom).
Riddle me this, my friends: why did anyone think this room needed three distinct closet spaces? And does that look like a load-bearing shelf unit to you, or do you think we could rip the whole thing out?
I guess we should just be glad that those three (two? four?) closets don't look like THIS:
Yup. That's orange shag carpet. It's in the bottom of all the other closets. Which says to me that it was, at one point, in the entire rest of the upstairs of this house.
It was built in the '70s after all. That was probably the height of sophistication then.
By the way, that particular closet is in the fish room:
Brandon thinks that curtain has to go, too. He's so picky.
Stay tuned! Next time on this our house we play "Name that plant!"
