have i mentioned this.

i am so excited for the sex and the city movie to come out. i feel like i've blogged about it, no?

anyway. today i was thinking i need to start watching the series again so i can be done with it in time for the movie. you know. a good little build up. and now. one of my favorite episodes is on tv. a definite sign that i need to get out the dvds now.

in other news that i don't know if i've blogged about... my mom has decided to make the front living room my scrapbook room. it's supposed to be a formal living room, but since we moved into this house, it's been the catch-all for random furniture [mostly antique pieces that my dad has collected and doesn't want to get rid of, but don't really have a suitable place in our house.] then when i moved out of my apartment i added to the mix with a bunch of boxes and bags [yes. i packed the majority of my stuff into good old paper shopping bags because that's what i had on hand. loved those handles for carrying stuff down the stairs.] the room also housed deepa's furniture and belongings for a summer while she was in vegas. so yeah. currently, the room is totally nonfunctional. and my scrapbook stuff has spilled all over the house [i know i've at least mentioned that part.] so i'm on the hunt for some cool furniture to make a scrapbook space.

here's a silly little sketch i made tonight in powerpoint. nothing is to scale, but it's a general idea for the layout. i need to find a nice work table, and shelves of some type at the very minimum. i would also like to have a little couch in there and some armoire-type cabinets. i don't know exactly what they are called, but just shelves with a door on the front. and a cute rug of course. :] i've checked out pottery barn, but i don't want to spend tons of money to get this done. i like the expedit shelves from ikea, but i don't know when i'll have the chance to make a trip to ikea and the cost of shipping is ridiculous. plus, i want to get this done asap. so. yeah. tomorrow i might try dania to see what they have. anyone have any other suggestions?

How fun! It would be so fun to plan out your own craft space and pick furniture to coordinate to your needs.

Yeah, I would tend to suggest Ikea, but their shipping is kind of ridiculous. Ummmm, I'll think on it. But this is making me want to re-do my space. :)

I think about it every so often since whenever we have another kid (not anytime right away) I'll have to move my scrap space into our master bedroom. So for sure I can't wait to see what you find for the space.
