We were up at 6am yesterday to organize ourselves for another day of house chores. On the list:
1. pick up drum and pendants we ordered last month from the light store
2. look at tiles for the splashback (again)
3. return all the tile samples we got last weekend
4. stop by the screen store to look at screen options (it's more complicated than I thought!)
5. buy a tub sink for the laundry and a garbage disposal
6. buy ceiling fan for upstairs bedroom
7. look at outdoor lights (expensive!) and stairwell lights (kinda useless but still cool)
We got a pleasant surprise -- in the lighting store where we bought the ceiling fan, I noticed a really reasonably priced drum light that will look perfect over our stairs. We bought it. We were hoping to make this light a really important feature, and this involved going to all sorts of boutiques and shops in search of The Perfect Light. It was always in the back of our minds that we might not be able to afford The Perfect Light, as these little boutiquey stores can be really expensive. At $90, this is a really good find!
It was another perfect summer day in Auckland so we blew off carpet shopping, grabbed the beach bag, and headed to Iain's office for an afternoon of tabloids, rice crackers, and pool. It was so much fun!
