Dimmer switches are in! Ceiling holes are patched and painted! Jewellery pinup board is up! Twiddly thing to hold up the blind cord is in! Cornice piece is not attached because Dad forgot the cornice plaster, but I'm going over to Mum and Dad's tomorrow for footy so I can pick it up then and fix that up... some stage. Hmm. Maybe tomorrow after I come home? Curtains go in on Tuesday!
These are some seriously snazzy dimmers, too. The two spots I wanted them, in the studio and the living room, can't fit a knob onto the current setup without some serious frigging around, hacking into the wall and making things awkward, so I've invested in push-button dimmers. You push and hold it to make the lights go up or down, and they look jolly pretty. Clearly tonight I should be watching a movie and using the dimmer for their purpose, but damn the cricket's awesome right now.
Which is also the reason I didn't go pick up the carpets this morning, because I was up to I think 2:30 watching the cricket and omfg it was so worth it 8D Double century to my new favourite in Steve Smith, (well, 'new', he's been my favourite batsman for about a year and a half now), wickets everywhere from ball two of the Pommy innings... I love the Ashes. So then I couldn't be arsed getting up early enough to go down and pick them up, so meh. Tomorrow morning maybe, if the cricket doesn't tie me up again tonight. WHY can't Foxtel be allowed to even put highlights on? Bloody greedy Channel 9. TV rights are so finicky and they just screw around the people who want to watch TV =/
This is really feeling like my place now, not like little old lady's place that I've bought off her. The garden will be exciting.
