Boxes! More paint! Oh my god.
Enter the new bar storage and my attempt to style a shot.
I found this deco-styled buffet on craigslist for $100. I waited and watched and the price dropped to $80 and, miracle of miracles, Greg actually liked it. Guys, we never agree on furniture. Ever.
I want to replace the hardware, but otherwise it’s exactly what we need. All of the extraneous bottles got tucked underneath and we can keep just a couple of bottles handy up top. I know, the carpet is fabulous. Someday that will go away.
Then my dresser could go where I really wanted it: in the living room. Previously we had a mid-century style corner table and a cheap pressboard TV stand.

Ignoring the fact that I’m still waiting on the delivery of the last rod for the left-hand window, this is making me like the curtains I made much more. They don’t take center stage, they provide some contrast and texture, and they don’t offend me. I also hung Enje blinds from Ikea, which give the room a wonderful gauzy light during the day.
I know the TV is awful. We only watch it if people come over for a movie night, or I’d huck it. I prefer to watch TV in bed, like a fat, lazy American.

Now I just need a big-ass farmhouse style table for the dining room, some curtains (*sigh*), and to refinish the floors and maybe I’ll be happy with that room. It’ll still look like a tornado hit it, but it will be a stylish tornado.
