oh craigslist....you complete me.

it was one of those posts....with the bad pics.....and you're not really sure what you're looking at....and they're not really sure what they're looking at...and you know someone has beat you to it....but you send the email......and you wait.


sometimes you actually luck out and get the email back. i've got a small collection of lane acclaim furniture that i'm always happy to add to. it was nothing but a coffee table for years, found by mom at a yardsale for $20. then a few months ago a set of step end tables for $60. awesome. 

well i knew in this picture that there was an end table with drawer with the really cool wooden handle. the other looked like a coffee table with a drawer? i've never seen such an animal in this series! so we make the arrangements to meet pretty late after my session is over. i arrive at the house and start walking toward the tables sitting by the garage. where is the coffee table?! come to find out its a sofa table! never seen this one either and super happy as i don't really need another coffee table and 2 of the same one is just too much. i tried to get some pics this morning but they came out really dark, everything does in my house. gotta remember to find picture lights. so here is a shot of the end table in its new spot.



i really wanted to show off more of the room, but the table was extra dark in that shot. here it is anyway.


i'm gonna try for some better shots of this sofa table, and to find a spot for it. does anybody else have one? just curious. stay tuned.

what a week.....er month...er whatever

wow. my week turned into a month. lovely vacation, which i actually spent mostly as a vacation for once. although i did do some work in the place. heres some pics of my lovely attic before i cleaned up and covered the ceiling in plastic.




doesn't that just make you wanna crawl around on your knees for hours? about 5 to be exact between sweeping out junk and covering all the old plaster and drywall on the ceiling with plastic sheets. i have no after shots, but its now as clean as i can get for now and storage is happening. awesome! that means i can move on to the next room!

and then this happened.........


oh yeah...did i mention i'm in the middle of tracking a record for the band (ohlm)? well it'd been put on hold while i was getting my house livable (read:power and water) and this is when the timing worked out. bass tracks sound great! i have no pics of the rig set up but this was the room we used....





and now a mere 4 days after we've finished tracking, it looks like this......



whew...

its been a long few weeks........
