Must...get...out...of...mold...infested...apartment.
Moving date bumped up two weeks. This is good because now I have a larger apartment set up for me (like I need it...with my one couch, one table, and one chair)...larger as in it has a dining room. "A dining room?" you say? Yes, I too find dining rooms an ideal concept with little use. I sometimes aspire to eat at a table and what not...but I have this couch straight from the 70's whose velvety soft cushions won't allow me to do so.
So, why a dining room, then? It's my project. I'm going to make a Middle Eastern style sitting room out of it. I'm buying some wood and staining it black. Then, mosaicing the sign for "Om" on it in green and gold, finishing it in clear lacquer (so it's all one level), and setting it up on rocks. Then, I'm putting four green/gold pillows around it and putting body pillows around the outside of the room. In the middle? My new, handpainted green and gold hookah as the centerpiece of the table....with a couple middle eastern style candles and some bamboo in the corners. I'd like to have rugs on the walls...but we'll see how much that endeavor costs.
So, yes. Moved date is good. But. *achoo!*
