let there be light: part two

if you remember back to the very beginning, we found out that we didn't need to only rely on floor lamps for the entire apartment...you can read about it here. many, many, MANY months later, we finally have lighting installed! hallelujah! no more stumbling around in the dark relying on only the kitchen and bathrooms for light.

as you can see, we're still living in a world of chaos...many things still in boxes, without a home...i also am not entirely thrilled with the placement of the surround sound speakers...damn you sprinkler systems!!! and if you look at the other side of the room---more boxes, rolling racks, and our two super UNcomfy chairs while we wait for our couch to come in. (just got word that it won't reach the shores of hawaii until august 15..or was it 18th?) i think we better invest in more comfy temporary seating....

also in progress are our closets! YAY! i'm sick of the rolling racks!

my closet

can't wait to say goodbye to these rolling racks!
honestly, i'm not the neatest person in the world...far from it actually...but the mess is really getting to me! i can't wait for the place to start feeling like a "home" and less like a storage unit!

let there be light

We went to the building management office to discuss our renovation plans with them to see if we needed any permits or things of that nature...we brought up putting in track lighting because we didn't want to have to rely on a million (ok, 2) floor lamps all over the place. They informed us that there is wiring ready for light fixtures built into the ceiling, the old owner may not have been aware of...we just would need to cut through the drywall.
yay! more lighting options! i love lighting. i hate dark rooms.

and scott makes another cameo in our bloggity blog.

i think we'll stick w/track lighting here...this is gonna be our TV wall.
or should i say, Nolan's tv wall.
