Wishful Thinking
Holy crap, I have a bar. It's an antique Chinese carved fold-out bar made out of solid elm, and I got it for, uh, I'd say less than 1/3 of the price that the bar I had posted up here earlier. So! Bar stools to go with this thing - I'm looking for a real classic bar stool, wood and possibly leather. The wood is a medium/darker shade of brown, and the antique brass inlay is, well, brass in color.
Adjustable brake and clutch levers for my 2003 M620 (link coming)
Black Joe Rocket "Trixie" Jacket. Medium.
This awesome deal of a mattress, which is like, $1000 off the standard retail price... and I'm told that cheap mattresses go for less money. My first step to building up a real bed, since Z has set such a good example.
Now that you've read all the impossible stuff, here's the do-able stuff
This pretty pretty bracelet for my ToV character It qualifies for free shipping, and the discount code is SEPTB
For someone to take me fabric shopping so I can make this outfit for my ToV character
Some bar-ware, for the bar. I have a sex-ay decanter from Steph, and Tom bought me the world's fanciest bottle opener and a wine fridge (no, seriously, he did. He has a vision for this bar, and it's totally made up for my birthday, and last Christmas, and everything). I have square rocks glasses and square iced beverage glasses. I do not yet have champagne flutes, snifters, or cordial glasses.
A microwave (for those times when I could use an ass-tastic meal of Hot Pockets)
Ubernerd Goes Domestic!
Okay. It's about time I got my ass into gear and turned the apartment into the Gothic Palace it was meant to be. Here's a breakdown of the different rooms and the themes I envision, both for my own memory and in case anyone is stumped for gift ideas:
The Bar
I love this room - it's going to be the showcase of the apartment because I love my bar. The theme is Victorian Hong Kong... that is to say, an exciting blend of AZN design and wrought iron candelabras that I have come to love with all my inner Goth. The color theme is black and red.
- Black or Burgundy Velvet (flat textured, not crushed velvet), enough for a voluminous looking new set of curtains. I'm envisioning maybe looking for stage curtain material - it's got that same look but it might not be as expensive.
- Black sheer fabric (also for the curtains)
- Bar stools (dark brown wood)
- A bamboo & iron fountain will go in the corner just beside the DJ alcove that Kilean has claimed for his equipment.
- Bob's sofa is going in this room with some AZN throw pillows.
- The Liquor Fairy series of illustrations will hang matted in frames around my bar. I've decided that the Liquor Fairy series, rather than being wholly impersonal, will be a series of illustrations featuring some of my good looking friends and their favorite liquors. Feel free to send me your name, a link to a photo of you, and a liquor of choice.
- A half-height handpainted asian curtain will be installed in the kitchen doorway.
- A thick black curtain will hang in the archway between the bar and the living room (this is why I'm looking into stage curtain material)
- I still have to figure out what to do with the corner of the room closest to the kitchen and the Blackberry Bathroom. Suggestions are welcome.
The Living Room
The theme of this room is Medieval Hunting Lodge - in order to justify all the heathenous drinking we do in the company of a 12 pack of Gritty's.
- The Soporific Futon is in this room (and will have fold-out capabilities once I get the screws from Nick)
- A couple sheepskins will be on the floor in front of the fireplace
More later...
