More Apartment Pictures

I spent this afternoon driving around with the windows down and blasting LCD Soundsystem. To motivate myself to clean up a little around here I got some more decorations and rearranged some things. Going with my whole shutterbug motif as of late, here's a bunch.

Some coasters I found. They're made from recycled PCB boards. Just nerdy enough!

TV show DVDs in the endtable

More DVDs, games, Blu Rays; I think the colors look pretty nice

More sleeves for the sleeve wall. Added the three on the right.

Decoration

It's about time something interesting went in the dining room.



More to come once I clean up around here. More boxes for the box graveyard!

EDIT: Here's some more pictures after cleaning up the living room a little. Still need to vacuum, but it's looking quite spiffy so far.

A special friend on the television. Still kind of cluttered with wires, but looks okay now.

New end table to the left of the couch. The lamp is still naked because I bought the wrong kind of harp for the shade. Oh no!

I bought some 3M sticky hook deals so that I'd have a place to hang my coat. Previously I'd toss it wherever I felt like.

UPDATE: April 7

A little more shopping that I intended to do yielded some more cool stuff. Figured I'd append it to the post rather than keep posting about the same subject.

Bowie album I made into a clock. ARTSY.

The wall. I'm not sure if I want to rearrange stuff - would they look better right up next to one another, perhaps?

Content?

It's 5:30AM and I'm suddenly enamored at the possibility of purchasing new furniture tomorrow.

Yes, that's right. A week or so ago I procured an of Montreal LP and desired something to play it on. Now, this led to needing something to actually put a turntable on, so I looked at end tables. What I planned to do was to buy some sticky dealies to mount the record sleeve to the wall all artsy-like.

One thing leads to another, and I come up with a fantastic vision for my currently-empty dining room. Music theme! It can have the CD/LP player in the corner, a few LP sleeves hung on the wall in a vertical line, maybe even a framed piece of art or two that's music themed. It might cost a bit, but it's worth it to finally get something in that room. Later in the month I plan to purchase a nice solid dining room table that hopefully I can also get some use out of.

So I'll compile a few things I'll need to buy:

1. Stick wall-mount thingies to secure the LP sleeve I already have to the wall and for future endeavors to that effect.
2. The LP/CD player itself, which is a pretty good chunk of change, but it'd be nice to have a way to play my music in the dining/living room area, including LPs I buy.
3. An end table or two, one for the actual purpose of providing a table for my couch, the other for a stand for said player.
4. A lamp for the end table next to the couch.

I also need to clean. I should probably do that first, but maybe I'll go out and shop so I'll be able to listen to music while I do so. I don't think I should be this excited about cleaning and purchasing furniture!

In the meantime, though, Thursday I went down to Voorhees to pay rent and re-up my lease for another year, so I guess I'm here until at least June of 2010! That's not a bad thing, though, since my apartment is more than acceptable and generally a good place to live.
