Home Makeover: Poor Graduate Student Edition
Except, I really hate that show. Ty Pennington scares me. But anyways, in an attempt to make my procrastination more productive, and in the hopes that being organized will make this semester better than last, I spent the four days following the cookie baking pulling together my house.
Here’s the desk, formerly where papers and crits went to die. (I offer no before pictures in this post because it is just too embarrassing.)
Among the people whose pictures watch over me while I write are Caren, Shane, Jim, Theresa, Douglas, An, Kristin, Amanda, and Brian. The other picture wall is across the room, but I couldn’t take a picture of it because I haven’t made my bed.
The built-in bookshelf (for Douglas and Rose.) Lila is in almost every picture because she was following me around and I think she was jealous that I wasn’t taking pictures of her. She seriously placed herself in the frame of each one without any prompting.
The infamous closet, now organized:
The bright green living room:
And, finally, the bright blue kitchen:
Thanks for humoring me.
