Earlier this week I was shopping for a camera for Yale, a laptop for Spoto, knuckle nail plates for Erick the Half a Bee as well as concrete roof tiles, a double glazed window and metal gutters and fascia bits for the finish of the roofline. On top of that I’ve still got plenty of building materials to get and I’m also starting to look for furnishings because we all know how long the damn lead times are from order to delivery of furniture… so the sooner the better I think. So I am shopping, shopping, shopping….
Building materials that I still need to get –
– roof tiles (on order delivery Friday)
– gutters and fascia (on order delivery Friday)
– double glazed window (on order delivery next tuesday)
– insulation
– gyprock
– cornice
– skylights (dude coming to quote next wednesday)
– plastering materials
– paints etc
– a gazillion miles of ethernet cabling and ports (see yale :P)
And then the pretties start…
– colour scheme (walls ‘Manilla Hemp to match the house)
– carpet (not sure. navy or burgundy to match or branch out with chocolate brown?)
– curtains (colour… curtain rods or tracks?)
– pendant or close to ceilling interior light (can’t be in the way of the media projector)
– interior wall lights (one ceiling light won’t be sufficient for room this big)
– exterior carriage lamps (elegant and not too glaring)
– sliding doors for wardrobes (innocuous and non-reflective – gold trim?)
– media projector ceiling mount (god knows what type?)
– power points (lots of them – about 6 or so)
– multi-way light switches (few of these too)
also looking for
– sofas or day beds (need two)
– occasional tables
– entertainment cabinet (one big low one I think)
– some sort of speaker solution
I hate shopping at the best of times…. at least these days a lot of it can be done online… yay!
