see his live journal for progress report 1 pics…
well we have been working on the apartment the last week or so… these pictures where taken a couple of days ago so they are not totally up-to-date…
this is the last of the progress report pictures… from here on out it is only going to be of completed things within the apartment and they will be added as we go along…
here are the newest progress report pictures”
the kitchen…
we have added some new things to the bar… we now have a frangelico bottle sitting on the far right and a bottle in the fridge (bummer we can not have it showing too) of bushmills irish cream…
i also added some greenery to the top and am planning on getting another one to finish it… i think it looks pretty and adds some color…
the bar is all irish with a few exceptions… it is something nice and simple, since we already had a full bar once and are not planning on doing that again…
here is looking towards the hallway…
as you walk in the front door, the first thing you see is this huge eye looking you dead in the face… 🙂
ahhh pi…
and off to the right is our beloved close encounters collector’s edition one-sheet poster and next to that is a poster of PSO (phantasy star online)…
PSO was a big part of our lives for some time and is sadly missed… it is a great game and our first experience to online games…
beneath the posters is where we are shelving all of our other books…
this is a shot of my unfinished corner from the other side of the apartment…
the other lights in the apartment are turned off and there is this island of light where i sit…
i have a lamp that hangs directly over my chair…
the lighting in our apartment is wonderful…
it is perfect for home theater and playing games at night…
we have something hiding the top light off to the left so we have direct light towards the ceiling and not everywhere else as well…
the ceiling fan light happens to be on, but when it is movie time, the only light we have are the top light on the left and a few plug in night lights…
there are also candles throughout the apartment…
we are mellow light people and prefer candles over harsh florescent lighting… we have cinnamon burning candles to make the place smell nice… 🙂
my corner in the daytime…
here is a better shot of what it all looks like…
i have an amelie poster and a small final fantasy 9 poster off to my left above all the music…
there is my desk which houses all my components…
i have my 17″ flat screen monitor, speakers with subwoofer, dreamcast, laserdisc player, dvd player, and playstation…
i also keep all my pretty things on my desk with some favorites… i have my space channel 5 mini-lunchbox and knick knacks from family…
off to the right is my final fantasy x-2 poster that was given to people that bought the game on release date…
he bought it for me, so i would have the new game on release date and i absolutely love it… i could not tell more girls to play this game (tons of girl fun)…
this is a long shot of the living room…
along the left wall we have added some of our favorite movie posters…
along that side is an amelie poster (which is not visible here), a punch-drunk love, magnolia, and moulin rouge…
in the back there is all the drawings of us along with a couple of copies of actual photographs and our marraige certificate…
near the sliding glass door, which leads to our balcony, is the media shelf…
in the foreground is the shelf with all the non-favorite laserdiscs and all of our movie books…
the couch is there on the left and the coffee table seems to be hidden by the movie shelves…
behind the couch is also where each of us has a small poster from the games that we are playing… on his side is a map of “liberty city” from grand theft auto 3 and on my side is a poster for final fantasy x-2…
here is a great shot of the kitchen from a different angle including the front door…
here you can see the reservoir dogs poster just off to the right of the door… i really love this one here because you see it as you are walking into the apartment…
along the middle there is another shot of the bar…
in the background, you can see that we have not gotten all the space filled up above the cabinets… the current plan is to space the empty bottles along the entire ledge there and i had thought about getting some more greenery (i like the little that we have so far)…
last but not least…
this is a great shot of standing near the movie shelf with all the other laserdiscs and movie books…
we felt is was very appropriate to place the ‘fear and loathing’ poster near the bar… it also adds alot of color to the area…
along the top of the counter there, you can see the few irish whiskey bottles and the frangelico bottle…
on the closest side is where we were having our bar tools sitting… it has 2 shakers, a dual-jigger and strainer…
the candle is also there for minimal lighting…
as you can also see here the reservoir dogs poster next to the door…
so, there they are…
the last progress report of the apartment… we will be doing the finishing touches little by little, but the main part of the job is done…
i badly need to get something for my corner since half the things that make this place so cluttered looking are over here… i plan on getting some sort of bookshelf, or storage cubes to place all my other things here…
the living room is really come together and we have enjoyed the set-up so far… i love that my side of the couch is near the fireplace since i am always cold…
the place is beautiful and huge… we did not think that we would not be able to fill up all this space… we are getting this place to feel more and more like home every day… 🙂
as always all the photos can be found from our homepage in the photos directory…
i just love it here…
