Alex and I painted the studio today (it was an awful dark sage green color) even though it says not to in our lease. We think we will try to trick them and say "no no, we never painted this room, it was like this before!" OR paint it back before we move out (we took copious notes on the existing paint color, as they had extras in the basement that we could match it to). We haven't decided what we will do yet. But there is plenty of time to feel that out later.
I was seriously stifled with the previous paint color guys, I don't think I would have EVER been able to make work in there... awful. Now there is light and room to move around now that we have gotten all of our shit out of there. ANYWAYS, please take a look at the lovely pictures below of our lovely new studio. The desks are Melltorp from Ikea and I LOVE THEM.
As you can see, I have already personalized my half...
There will be bookcases on this wall as soon as we build them (below). And then fill them with stuff!
In conclusion, Alex and I managed to do all of this in one day:
1) go to Eagan to borrow my parents Dodge Durango
2) go to home depot for the paint and paint supplies
3) go to Ikea to get the two desks and three Billy bookcases (which were heavy!)
4) return home to unload all of the stuff and paint the studio
5) shower
6) go back to eagan to return Dodge Durango
7) return home again
8) grill delicious hot dogs and veggie dogs on the grill for dinner on the porch with baked beans and tom collinses (yummy!)
9) hold on just long enough to watch some olympics then
10) pass out
It has been a busy day. And tomorrow's monday...
