Also, I don't have a picture because it was kind of a pictureless kind of job, but I bought a plug from Menards and changed the cord on the stove from a 4-prong to a 3-prong and have a working stove now!!! (Part of me should be saying 'Darn' however, because I've lost a potential place to store shoes...).
This weekend was inclusive of many firsts, like: first time I've ever installed a receptacle for an outlet, first time I saw a living bug (and ew! a spider!!) in my house (..and I was beginning to get worried, I mean, this house is HOW old and was abandoned (essentially) for a year and there weren't any bugs????), and first time I got in a fight with a married couple at Home Depot. Explanation: I bought the floor model microwave, thus it wasn't in a box. After waiting a ZILLION years for a guy to come and help us (me and the nice lady who was helping me) take the microwave down from its display -- we decided to do it ourselves. So, we lugged it down and balanced it across a cart. While the lady went to find all of the installation parts, I went up to the front to pay for it; she told me to just leave it where it was and someone would bring it to the front and help me put it in my car. After waiting for a few minutes, I went back to check on it and it was gone -- but the salespeople were there, baffled, because they thought I had come back to take it. So what happened was a couple saw it in the cart (with no price tag mind you -- who just decides they want something with NO price tag on it??) and decided they wanted it. I ran around the store until I found them to explain to them that I had already bought it, and they would NOT give it up. I swear the guy was on steroids because he was about to rip me to shreds when I said, "Excuse me, hi, umm this is kind of awkward, but I actually already paid for that microwave ..." Finally, a manager came over to my rescue and saved the day.
Here it is in all its glory. I feel especially attached to this microwave now that I've had to fight for it.
Lights! (PRETEND YOU CAN'T SEE THE DROPPED CEILING -- THANKYOUVERYMUCH!!!!)
Kitchen light -- got this from a garage sale on my way home from work last week for $5!
Free antique bed that I love and want to spray silver.
Bamboo buffet before. Well, kind of before, I forgot to take one so I just quick snapped this while I was priming. Btw, I used a can of Kilz spray primer (the odor covering one) and it was a breeze as I still can't feel the tip of my right forefinger. Dang CO'SPS!! (Can-o-spray paint syndrome)
Hello closet! Thank you for accommodating only 1/8 of my clothes! Hello every single other closet in my house -- I'll be using you to house my wardrobe as well!! :)
