You can see full-on before pictures, an update including new items, and the last day of blue walls. And now, here is the picture of the green walls, with (nearly) all the things returned to their places. Or holding a place, while I wait for a few things to arrive (ahem, Murphy Bed, ahem).
Here’s the closet door angle. You can see the soothing green color and that my desk area has been reassembled, nearly unchanged. My closet has not yet been put back together (a very large undertaking, given the three shelves that have to be reinstalled, plus I have a lot of things on the walls in there).
The rolling file cabinet has been sold, and the cat tree has been put out for someone to grab it. I’ve moved one of the Billy bookcases into the room, grabbed one of the storage ottomans to serve as a bedside table, and my mattress is on the floor because I gave away my bedframe.
I bought a new duvet cover. The other one was bloodstained due to Antares’s open wound lump, and I also needed a change. This may be temporary bedding. The bedding came with two pillowcases, and I needed two more for laundry purposes. Ikea didn’t have any in the same pattern, so I grabbed a package of orange. Turns out Ikea sells their pillowcases in singles. I had to go back and get another one.
You can also see the above-bed shelves that I would knock my head into once or twice a year are gone as is the wall-mounted reading light.
While I have taken down the curtains and pulled the bird diamonds off of them, I have not yet finished the valance that will replace them. Though I did get the curtain rod back up.
Here you can see that the postcards are back. I was able to reassemble the lower curtain wire with no trouble, but the top one sags. I will buy a replacement and change it out the next time I rotate postcards.
The drying racks are back on the wall, but the fun hanging desk is gone (via OfferUp) and has been replaced by the Ikea folding table. The two black lumps are my sewing machines. I have plans to make new covers.
Outside the door, you can see my dresser upside down. The rails for the bottom drawer broke, and I ignored it long enough to have the sides of the dresser start to come apart. I have hammered and glued things back together, and asked my neighbor Leo if he can make new rails.
One more look at the other corner. I hadn’t realized until today that three of my four walls have doors in them.
Now we wait for the Murphy Bed.
