Home improvement

Ah yes... Home Improvement. I love it! Specially thinking about how I would ideally want things and then knowing exactly what shades of jade-green would go perfect with what type of shutters etcetera, only to find out that ofcourse you're budget is Ikea. Or maybe not even that. Shoot!

Since I'll be starting classes in one week from now again I decided that the house needed a proper clean. You know a really really thorough one. This way I know for sure that I can be a lousy housekeeper for a few months without anybody noticing. The convenience! So I washed the curtains, cleaned the windows, did the entire kitchen, did the bathroom and tomorrow I'll work upstairs. Yay me for cleaning!

But anyways, we have a lot of these things sitting around here, that've been waiting to be fixed or tidied or who knows what, for ages; and all of a sudden it annoyed me like it had never done before. So I decided we need two or three extra bookshelves to go on the wall so that I can clean out the bookcases in the livingroom. Too much has been stacked in there over the years. And also, I need new shelving space for my new books!


See? Aaaah the chaos! The risk of everything falling out...


2 or 3 extra shelves here would make a nice fake bookcase.

And I also feel that we need some fake plants to go in our windowsill. Why fake and not real? Because I'm allergic to loads of plants, and besides I have a very special quality enabling me to kill off even cacti within a week. So real plants would really be plant-molesting, or something.

But what do you reckon, it needs some jazzing up, right?


Next up then would be the front garden, which makes me feel ashamed pretty much everytime I walk past it, but somehow it's always the very last thing on my priority list.


To be continued...
