Closer

Finally. I bought this hand about 15 trillion years ago to put on my front door because I needed something to be excited about since the process of this house being extremely ugly lasted a really, really long time. I realize this front door looks white but it's actually blue with a gold hand knocker I don't want to see any ridiculous arguing about it. Nice to see it come to fruition finallyyyy

Also my cabinet hardware is in! I got them from Etsy, a really really nice dude who helped me get everything I wanted. I love them!

Aaaaand since you can kind-of peep in the background LOOK AT MY GORGEOUS RANGE! Shout out to my BFFs Lisa & Todd Richey for essentially giving me a priceless family heirloom. I have someone coming to lovingly clean the gunk off of it on Friday and this is the very last time anyone will ever touch it, you have my word.

Not the finished product - I traded the 9" box spring for a bunky (bunkie?) board TBD with absolutely no help from JUSTIN at the fucking MATTRESS FIRM by HOME DEPOT. Daisy at the Mattress Firm at the Marquee is my GIRL, calling reps and calling me back MORE THAN ONCE like a damn hero. It's because of Daisy I did not flip a table last Wednesday.

Here's more moving evidence:

Also my gorgeous dining fixture. I love it more than I could ever possibly express:

Presently it doesn't work, but it's a damn dream come true anyway.
