Change in the house of Trak

Big changes coming up...some already done.

First off, I got rid of the desk I was using as a shelving unit. It did the job, but that's really about it. It clashed with the room's motif, and the wood for the shelf part of it is starting to warp, so it's gone. In it's place I plan to put some dark shelves. Thankfully, it looks like I'll have plenty of space for those elsewhere, though I'm also exploring some furniture-based solutions.

Secondly, the TV Stand has now been moved where the desk was. This is to keep all of my electronics on one side of the room as well as open up the room a bit more. I may need to move my speakers in a bit, but overall it's a lot more open. Right now, the only items on that wall are my Gundam 0083 and GITS: SAC wallscrolls. That side of the room is going to be my focus for the rest of the week - you'll find out why later.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna check and see if an existing bookshelf I have will work for that wall. More and more updates, including pictures, coming soon!

Surprise!

Got a nice surprise from the folks; a faux-shoji screen to use as a closet door. Will have pics later.

Also, I will definitely have to drive to Sacramento to pick up stuff from Ikea. Shipping on just the TV stand I want was 350. Yikes.

Revision 2.0 coming up

One of my goals this semester is further work on my room. The desk is going bye-bye in favor of some actual shelving, and I'll be adding more shelving where appropriate; I've got more stuff than shelves, and that needs to change. I'll be moving my tube tv to a stand and shuffling my computer desk over to make the room a bit more connected. This is going to require a trip to Ikea, but that's no problem. I hope to have my closet doors done by December, and hopefully we can get around to taking up the carpet and throwing in some hardwood. I'm also considering a recliner, but I'll have to see how room works out; again, I don't have much to spare.

Painting's done, and some other cool stuff!

Pictures: Before the painting

This is my south wall. This should give you an idea of why I wanted to paint- that Cafe color made me feel like I was living inside a Tiramisu.

My north wall and the enterence to my room. Of special note, the ceiling: It looks white in this page, but after we primed the room, It looked disgustingly yellow. We did fix that though.

Close up of my north wall, to give you a better idea of the color I did have.

Before anybody gets any ideas, no, a bird with indigestion didn't go nuts in my room. That's spackle. Also, this showcases the closet shelf that I had to deal with.

There were a couple of shelves installed (sloppily) in my room that had to go for painting. On top of the overall light paint job that was present in most of the room, we found out that it was originally painted a mutagen-like shade of green. Yuck.

Coming soon- Paint job done, with (some) furniture.

Painting done! Pics coming soon.

Yeah. And it came out goooood, too.

Itty Bitty Living Space...

...and no cosmic powers. Well, maybe they're just latent.

I recently moved, and this is blog is going to be a nice little photojournal to keep track of my progress. So I'll be updating as events warrant.
