Bedroom Light

Peter, what the hell thing did you model this light after? Whatever, it's awesome.




My boyfriend follows design instead of football, I'm so lucky.

Duct Work: Ask and You Shall Receive

We were having trouble figuring out how to hang our new pendants over the pool table. The beam we wanted to hang them on was obstructed and we didn't want to hang them to the side, leaving them off center. Now that we spent the time and money to get the pool table's exact coordinates professionally calibrated, we can't move it. What's that pesky obstruction overhead? Oh yeah, just the HVAC duct.

We casually slipped this conundrum into conversation with the maintenance manager. His solution? "Lets just hack the duct up and move it over 6 inches!" Ask and you shall receive!





During the course of this project we also received a couple other surprises:

Noise complaint from the neighbors - check!

Smell complaint from the neighbors - double check!

I guess people don't want to hear the rip of power tools and the smell of burning metal during their work day. Weird.

Let's Go Swimming

The POOL is open. Dan the pool (table) man showed up today to refurbish our awesome vintage Brunswick Century. $350 to fully assemble everything, replace the hardware, laser level, repair and broken or work parts, and (the best part) lay down a new super sexy charcoal grey felt.


2 things to notice here: the total and utter squalor we're living in, and the fact that we care more about getting the pool table assembled than the rest of our home.


Furry. Grey. Sexy.

Bathroom Vapor Lights

You may have noticed some new lighting in the finished bathroom post. Thanks to The Expert, Peter has recently become quite proficient in wiring lighting. If you're really up for a challenge, which we are, the best time to wire lighting is after dark.  Once you turn the off the power source.





I was supposed to be aiming the flashlight at the light fixture, but this is what I was really doing while I was "helping" with the wiring:


Spray bottle spookiness. I'm so awesome.
