to desire the replica

posted on: July 2nd, 2009

g I’ve come to the realization that it will be unlikely that I will do any sort of real post in the next few day, and certainly haven’t in the last several days… sorry, am distracted with dogs and beer and holidays………So here are some photos of our smarmy new house. I fucking LOVE it. There are a few things we have to deal with- the painting won’t happen for a couple of weeks and the baseboards and door trim are all still missing but I fucking adore this place. There is one major issue that I didn’t realize right away though. We use the backdoor to come and go, but the front door has a cute small alcove in between the screen door & the actual front door. (The cat is in HEAVEN!!) I like to leave the front door open so she can look out. It should be said here that I am NOT a bathroom door closer. EVER. If I happen to be crapping/dealing with a “personal hygiene”moment or digging snot out of my nose, I don’t close the door. If Steve walks by, sometimes he gets a show, sometimes he pukes a little in his mouth, but it’s the way I roll around people that I am comfortable with. If I had company, I would close the bathroom door. Honestly, I would. I was peeing the other day (door wide open) and realized by the shocked looks of the strangers out on the street that my toilet is almost perfectly in line with my front screen door. Surprise, surprise…..

Here are some random shots that don’t have anything to do with me peeing in front of strangers. In my last post, Native Minnow mentioned that he loves our coffee table. I get a weird little thrill when people love my shit. (Wait, not me shitting in front of the door, I mean my stuff. You knew that, right?)

What was the builder thinking?

Guess you’ll have to develop some new habits.

I don’t know how you get settled in so quickly - it would take me months to get pictures and such up and I don’t have as many as you.

Kim Says:

Jeannine, it’s called “drop everything”, including your job for 3 days and moving becomes your 12 to 14 hour a day job for the next 3 days. It doesn’t pay well but the boss carries a whip.

f.B Says:

I echo the love for the coffee table. Is that something someone made for you, or did you actually just find it in a store somewhere?

Woo. Fancy and pants, all at the same time!

LiLu Says:

Adorbs! Welcome home.

Richard Duggan Says:

nice digs girl!

Bon Don Says:

Oh man was a freakin’ awesome little set-up you have there!!

Three questions for you…

1. Can I move in?
2. Where did you find all your cool pieces?
3. and when can I move in?

Very good taste Ms. K! Love it!

Chick Says:

I love the little desk alcove & the war is over picture.

Hannah Says:

LOL@ bathroom story.
I love those masks that you have (in the “credenza 1 shot”) Where did you get them?

kim Says:

fb & Native M- Coffee table comes from Steve- purchased, not made, but I don’t know where- Hannah- the masks are from all over- I try to pick one up every time I travel- I’m addicted to them!
bondon- Did you see the guest room???? ;)

shine Says:

How did I miss a post about you peeing for all your new neighbors?

Also, I second Bon Don’s sentiment, but with more of a “Pick me! Pick me!” fervor.

Kim Says:

ok- whoever brings the most booze can move in!
