New and Improved Karl!
Remember how I told you guys about how we spruced up karl a bit? Well I finally got around to taking some photos. I think he looks pretty good. For the last version of the living room check it out here.
Why yes, that is the third rug we've had in the past two years. This one is sticking around, it's so soft and wonderful. The table was a vintage find from an antique fair. The Ikea tray we already had just so happens to fit perfectly on top.
Look at how big Taco is getting (Depending on who you talk to, it's Taco or Spaghet. In real life, he answers to "kittens" more than anything. David never ended up sticking.)! I think the first time I posted about him was here. He still has leg issues, but at this point it's looking like it will be a lifelong thing. There's a hunch that his cerebellum either isn't full developed, or it sustained some trauma early in life. He has a pretty awesome life, he scuttles around the house chasing Bowie, and eats EVERYTHING.
I also picked up this tray the day I bought the chaise. It's nice to have a place to set the remotes and my coffee in the morning. Plus it's a great color. I need more blue in this room. I think the curtains are going to be a bit too dark for winter though. Might be time to do a little seasonal switch out.
Winters are pretty depressing here in Cincinnati. We statistically have more overcast and rainy days than Seattle. A little color couldn't hurt in improving the mood round the house.

Loft
So here are the pics of the “progress” I promised. Brace yourselves because I’m not sure if you’re prepared for how underwhelmed you’re going to be. No really, sit down.
The floors are darker than normal, because I washed them. I’m pretty sure that I’m the first person to wash them, like ever. They’re unfinished so they soak everything up super hard-core. Maybe some oil will do them good? Also please note my seriously ghetto nightstands. We brought every DVD over because we don’t have the TV here yet, and my laptop can’t play blu-rays. And since I haven’t found the perfect pair yet, cue scary music, they might stick around awhile. Here’s some more views on the loft.
Check out that beauty of a dog crate. I have no idea where else to put it. For the most part it’s up here because it’s what bowie is used to, and if he sleeps in the crate instead of the bed we like to be able to here him in case somethings up. He’s our baby, so please excuse us being crazy dog people. At least it’s out of the way? Also note the piece of banister wood missing on the right side of the stairway.
Jump for joy, here’s more blah! It’s a start though, and I’d say it’s far better than what was here before.
See? Starting to feel a little less cave like! If we find time this weekend, I’m thinking the whole loft, ceiling tiles included will be getting a coat of Kilz. Once I have one flesh toned room down I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop!
