Mad Season
No sooner am I moving into this apartment than I am becoming a complete furniture hedonist. A bedroom? A kitchen?
A living room? Three separate living spaces?! Surely not!
So, I need a small table for the kitchen and immediately thought of one of those retro chrome bar tables. Of course, they sell ones at The Hollywood Mirror on Belmont that actually have designs on them (Hawaiian girls/50’s kitchen stuff) as opposed to basic black or white. But, the price seems right out on this one site.
Of course, I am not sure I like the plain old stools, or one of these other two (picture removed)
I am really amazed at how cheap the stuff is. I thought I’d be talking $300 easy, but according to the site all the prices are reduced by 80% so the chairs are only around a hundred for a pair and the table just over a hundred.
I have been wanting these locker-looking things from Ikea since I saw them.
I have to take some measurements but I was thinking two together with the TV in the middle right between my two living room windows. The only problem would be if the stereo is too big to fit into them.
This is the bed frame I was thinking about getting (Picture removed)
It’s from Ikea though and I saw the words ’particle board’ in the description which kinda made me wince. Not that I expect to be living the Hilton life or anything, and I don’t expect Ikea stuff to be made like a tank, but I can just see myself accidentally chipping it. I suppose it’s not big deal since I can easily get a new frame. I am all about the bed being low to the floor.
My mind is really too frazzled to come up with any general "theme" concerning this new place. I have always been highly partial to 50’s tropical nostalgia; tikis, grass skirts... surfer movie stuff. I had that idea about doing some kind of ’tropical’ bathroom, but the thing is so small there’s not really even room for that tiki kleenex box I wanted. Hell, there’s not even a place for kleenex period.
I can’t believe I am going to have a kitchen table though. This is unheard of. I haven’t had one in two and a half years. Crazy!
Now the real fag in me comes out because I am thinking about kitchen curtains. Oh wait, Rockwell corrected me on this... that are "window treatments". Hell, I could even do Hawaiian hoola dancers or surfer girls. I’m sure my mom could help me make curtains. I could do them with any fabric at the store.
Ugh, I feel intensely gay right now.. and the Ikea website, which finally has stuff ON it, which it didn’t for years, is like a virtual masturbation-fest right now. I don’t need to pick from 42 different kind of dish dryers. I have one! Stop looking!! Step away from the computer!
