This was the scene on Sunday after we returned from IKEA. We built a few items each night and everything is finished, at least as finished as we can be without the hinges for the wardrobe and the door for the laundry cabinet. We had our crown molding in the living room and baseboard in the bathroom installed yesterday, which now needs to be painted. It already makes the place look a lot better, though, even in its unfinished state.

We got our kitchen sink back yesterday as well, after weeks of occupation by paintbrushes, sponges, buckets, and goopy piles of wallpaper glue. We’ve still got a ways to go, but the place is beginning to look a lot better. We’re sleeping in our bed, my computer is on my desk, the TiVo is working, our bathroom sink is hooked up… All major accomplishments, in my book. This weekend we go to Boston, and next weekend I’m in Chicago for the International Phootobooth Convention, so we’re racing to get as much done now as we can.
