Getting a little jump start on the fall cure (although I have no idea when it starts) with some major home improvement purchases. Thanks to a sale at the Container Store and a re-design of my original home office plan, I spent less than expected on my soon-to-be-delivered, space-saving, wall-mounted desk and shelving. I spend the leftovers on two other big updates/upgrades/space-savers — a flat-screen TV and an iPod dock speaker system. The only other purchase to complete my media upgrade is a proper iPod. I am still using the first-generation iPod I got as a (very thoughtful) gift many years ago — it's only a 4 gig. 80 gig, here I come!
These purchases will go a long way in helping move my apartment redecorating/updating forward. Once they arrive I'll be able to sell my old desk and TV, buy a cozy reading chair for the bedroom, and perhaps re-arrange the living room. Once things are more in place I can re-hang art, shelves, etc. and the place might finally feel like a cozy home again. It has been in flux too long and I feel it draining me — looking forward to doing some nesting in the cooler weather.
That said, I've been fully enjoying my Labor Day weekend, with parties and barbecues galore. Today mght involve a trip to the beach . . .

I wish we had a Container Store here! It’s a bit of a pain to order stuff from the US, unfortunately. I really love containers though 😛
