Project progress report #2

The storage thing I ordered for the guestroom arrived last week, all 70 pounds of it, 

tightly packed into a suspiciously small box.

This was my first experience assembling flat-packed furniture,
and I was not looking forward to it. At all.

Amazingly, all the parts were included, all the pre-drilled holes were in the right places,

the instructions were large enough to read, it was not a two-person job

despite the admonishments in the instructions, and putting it together was almost fun...

...unlike swapping out the sconce with the one from my office. 

Electricity is never fun.

I stole a chair from the living room because what's the point
of having a light above without a chair below?
p.s. I've found my center.

Except now there isn't room for the trunk at the foot of the bed.
I'll still restore it but will need to find a different place to park it.

Fabric has been chosen for the door and window shades. I'll use the one at the bottom

for the door (it's called Vine but I think it looks more like Chicken Feet).

I'll use the flowery one for the window. This was a last-minute addition
to the original selections, so I photoshopped it onto the other samples,
which is why it looks weird. 

Some of you have suggested leaving the window free of pesky obstructions,

but all my guests so far prefer to close the shades at night.

Since this is their room, they shall have shades. 

Smooch is okay with that as long as they're left open during the day.

I still need to find some interesting hooks for the space between the closet and entry door

(to the left of Smooch's nose but higher up).

Next steps: order the fabric and figure out how to make roman shades.
