reno blues

if you're wondering what i've been up to, well only ONE thing: renovation.

the magazines all make it look so easy: buy a house, engage an ID, decide on a decor, go to quirky shops to buy furniture, put it all together and ta-da: your dream home is created!

perhaps the above only happens to the rich folks. for the more average peasants like me, it means operating within a fixed budget and that also means that weekends have to be burnt, wholesalers all over the island have to be visited, quotes have to be compared, and compromises have to be made, all in the name of getting the most bang out of my pretty limited buck.

so for the past weekends over the past two months, the girl and i have been going from north, south, east to west on the search and research for moderately affordable furnishings and appliances for our soon-to-be humble industrial scandinavian loft. we're already settled on our ID, have sort of an idea of where to get what and at how much, and hopefully in a few months, this:

can soon be transformed to this:

doesn't the reindeer decal look oh-so-lovely?! i love horns!!!

but first, there's more research, and shopping (oh-my-poor-wallet) to be done! stay tuned for the progress of projet pothaus!
