From a loft to a home...

It took somewhere from 2 days, 1 moving company, a couple hours behind schedule, mucho texts of "movers?," 1 tired wookiee, and a partridge in a pear tree to settle wook into his new place. What's left? A couple boxes of possessions he doesn't know where to put yet.

I'm loving his building as they have co-mingled recycling.

And feeling just a bit left out being on the West coast, I asked wook if he could draw me just a floor plan of his building since I couldn't find one online. Boy, did that boy deliver. Not only are the walls to scale, but he added in the furniture. I swear, if I didn't exist...I think people would think he's way too skilled to be into the female persuasion. The boy's got incredible decorating and art skill. Thank his mama on that one.

This is the first floor as you can tell as it's type on the image. The couch is actually on "borrow" from Joe as wook a.) doesn't have one, and b.) can't afford the leather unit he wants. The goal is on slate for a possible birthday present to himself. With a little chunk thrown in as my birthday present quota to assist in the costs. I will of course document everything via the blog when I'm back next. Countdown: Less than 25 days.

This is the second floor which took forever to post as sometimes my wireless doesn't work downstairs (the signal comes from upstairs on the other side of the house). The random square closet is actually the stacked front-loading washer/dryer machines. It took me forever to figure that one out. Upstairs are the turtles, another bookshelf on the left wall, and his dresser that's caddy-wompus in the corner. (How else do you describe it?)

And last night, I was treated to the best webcam tour my laptop could provide. He's such a nice boy. He even made me a reading nook near his desk so I can listen to gunfire as I delve deeper into my laundry list of readings. But before then, I have got to mail him some more books to make his shelves look better. He's acquired more shelving since moving in so the splitting up of his collection makes it look piddly. And since I've been perusing the Media Exchange, I've found some pieces that would fit his style. I wonder how many books I can stuff into those $9 flat rate boxes? You know they can weigh up to 75 lbs. I'll keep you posted. :)
