I do, however, do like my apartment. It has a nice layout and doesn't feel cramped or claustrophobic. I am super excited to decorate it. Here are a couple decorations I am particularly proud of.
This one was a dollar store wall sticker and I had the brilliant idea to put it on the mirror.
This one... well, I don't actually have any cherished memories associated with masks. Yet. Maybe I'll have James take me to a masquerade ball later this decade.
We've been planning to install wall-mounted bookshelves for all our books, since bookcases have been disastrous with Amelia. And since we're only at the beginning of our baby-making careers, we thought it'd be an excellent idea to have our books living high up out of reach for the next decade or so. Baby-proof shelving would be just awesome.
Only we have a ton of books. All these boxes are full of books.
We'd need about 50-60 feet of shelving. And adding up the lumber, heavy-duty wall brackets, and screws... that's like $400 right there. And if I did it the way I really wanted to and got a couple decorative wall brackets (for all eight shelves) to use as bookends, that's another $100. We got quite a lot of Christmas money, but do we really want to spend it ALL on shelves? Yuck.
We'll see.
Love and books,
Jenna
