Redecorating progress

I'm at about 50% in the redecorating process. I've moved my desk and my computer downstairs. I have a mess of wiring for the moment for the router and cable modem. Will resolve that part hopefully next week.

I moved all of the framed Jurassic Park movie posters to the corner where my desk is. They look pretty good together again. I replaced the fading red curtains with, well, red curtains that I'm sure will fade. I got a lamp from Target that's bulit kind of like a torch, with little shelves on it. I put the plant I nearly killed on the bottom of it. I really dig it.

I think to make the room really interesting, I need some kind of couch. Stephanie suggested a sectional, because it would be good for sexy socializing between all of my attractive single friends. Kidding. I don't have any attrac... er... single friends. ;) The summer I stayed home to write my book, I had super chill and relaxing times on the chase in that room, soaking in the sun and the breeze. Something to facilitate that would really tie the room together.

The old office, which is one of the three bedrooms, is in worse shape than I expected. Luna left some nasty surprises behind the desk. She vomited on one of the power supplies, and some how managed to not kill herself in the process. More pee too, which explains why the room smelled so bad. (Despite this, I still miss that cat like crazy.) The remaining challenge is cleaning out all of the crap in there. So many boxes to things I bought years ago. I also need to go through the filing cabinets and throw tons of shit away. It'll probably take a good week or so, and then I can rip out the carpet and start soaking the corners with enzyme stuff.

When my parents got new carpet after our cat died, they had to wash the wood floor with bleach water.

I guess it worked pretty well.

I have one of those - the best lamp in the house - and it only cost $20.
