Fortress of Solitude: The house tour
Are you sick of pictures of my house yet?
Because the renos are done, the pictures are hung, and I'm pretty stoked with the results.
The front door used to be black. Now it's teal. You knew I was going to paint my front door teal the second I had the chance, right?
Best coatrack ever. Also, some amazing art-type things from my step-dad.
Courtesy of my grandmother, awesome Victorian ladies. (If you see something cool in my place, chances are it came from my grandparents or my step-dad or the previous owner.)
You've seen the living room, but now it's dark blue as opposed to milquetoast baby blue.
Marinetti looks oddly bashful here.
The landing going up the stairs. Original print by one of my friends.
The bathroom was the same baby blue, which didn't look bad at all, except that it was the same baby blue as the downstairs. As in the exact same paint. You need special bathroom paint, BTW, or disgustingness ensues. Anyway, with the chance to choose the colour, I went with a ballsier green.
HEY SABOTABBY PUT YOUR STUFF AWAY AND CLOSE THE LID ON THE TOILET BEFORE TAKING PICTURES OF YOUR HOUSE, YO. HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM THE HOUSEWIFE BLOGS?
The bedroom is mostly unchanged since the last time I posted about it, but there's more grandmother-art above the bed. Plus, what's that on the bedside table?
This!
Okay, remember the library? Lightly-peed-on nursery yellow? This is actually my favourite part of the re-do because it was the only part of the house I didn't like before.
BOO-YAH!
Here's the budding comic wall. As you can see, there is room for expansion here.
Lots of room. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snarkitysnarks, get drawing!)
Okay, let's go outside.
My back yard, let me show you it.
The apple tree. Since you guys were no help with naming it, I've decided to call it Tyrion. Because it is a dwarf apple tree with mismatched apples, and I am currently on a Game of Thrones kick. While it is technically a hermaphroditic tree that can self-pollinate, the guy who planted it insisted that it's a he.
So my dream of raised garden beds and planting all the things was clearly not going to happen this year, due to tumor. Accordingly, it's going to be container gardening this year and hopefully I won't have a tumor by next summer.
Tomatoes, spearmint, and onions.
You can tell this is my garden because I have two kinds of hot pepper.
Cilantro and Thai basil.
Finally, the barbecue! I am going to Grill All the Things.
So that's my pad! Still a few little things to do, plus the basement (which is going to have to be repainted, but I eventually want to replace the futon with something not so ugly), but overall I think it's looking awesome.
