I knuckled under and bought a new sub woofer. Open box tho... Got a Polk that retails for $250 for $175.

Saturday night, me and the kids and Amanda watched Avatar. Better than the theater, I tells ya.

Went Goodwill trolling today and friday. Got a Calphalon frying pan, a couple clocks, a little cabinet for my spices..... More bowls...a lamp.... I think all I need now is a little dinette table and chairs.

Isn't it nice making a place your own!

Looks good!

I was curious about that built-in cabinet. I like it and wanted to see a full view of it. So I went back to the start of the thread, and got to see a picture there of it. But then I noticed from one of those early pictures that the refrigerator in a different spot. How huge is your kitchen that you are able to move the refrigerator around to different spots? Every kitchen I've ever had, there was only one spot where you could squeeze a fridge in place.

jimhelm · 02-13-2013, 08:29 AM

The fridge had to move cuz they put the dishwasher over in that corner. I never measured, but maybe 10x16? Not quite big enough to put a table and chairs in there.

The leaning desks came today. I can't seem to capture how completely awesome this looks in person. It even matches the shitty tv stand's finish. Pretty easy to assemble too.

@ choco---the grandfather/carpet story made me lol---for reeels.

jim--I LOVE IT! I esp. love that you have a picture of a hot dog AND a banana (I think it's a banana) in your kitchen.

Freud would have a field day with you.

I sincerely love your new place---and I covet that red kitchen thing-y. I covet it BAD.

Trilby · 02-15-2013, 06:12 AM

oops--not a banana but a BANANA looking MOON slice. Same difference.
