Finally Some Furniture – Front Room October 2016

We have furniture!  It is only some of the furniture that will eventually go into the room, but it is a start.  I actually did not have most of the furniture when I took my comparison pictures on Sunday (a day late since I was out of town).  On Monday, they called to schedule delivery on a couple more pieces.  Two skinny bookshelves and a lateral file were delivered this morning.  I took a picture to include in this month’s update even though it was technically after the monthly cut-off.  Below are the comparison pictures, September 1^st on the left and October 2^nd on the right.  At the very bottom is the picture I took tonight of the newly delivered items.

Aside from my late delivery of furniture, I do not really have much else to show.  None of the cleanup work from the last update has been done.  My husband still needs to finish the electrical work.  I still need to clean the floor and finish painting the doors and door frame.  My husband and I did clear out some of the computer equipment that had migrated into the room.  Then, I ordered the furniture because I just could not wait any longer.  I have ordered most of the items for the office side of the room.  This includes the two skinny bookshelves, the lateral file, two chairs, and a desk.  The desk will come at a later date, currently estimated at November 4^th, so possibly not even making it for the next update.  The two chairs are here in the big boxes which you will see in the pictures below.  I definitely need some new lighting still, but I do not anticipate buying much more for this side of the room.

This coming month will most likely be rough because it is the quarter.  On top of that, I am trying to get back on track for studying for the CPA exam.  This is probably not going to leave me much time or motivation to work on the room.  If I can find some spark of energy in me, I should focus on cleaning the floor first.  Hopefully, I can convince my husband to do the remaining outlets and light switches too.  Other than that, I will work on unpacking some boxes now that I have some places available to put things.  I am also starting to think about what I want on the other side of the room.  I cannot order furniture for that side until I clear out some of the boxes and other stuff.  However, I did measure the room and map it out on some graph paper so I can start playing around with furniture ideas in the space.  I am really excited now that I have some furniture in here, and I like it as much in reality as I did on the website.  Maybe I can do this after all, and I will end up with a room that looks good.

I think that about covers everything.  See you next week!
