Metro Shelving: The Bedroom Goes Industrial
I keep saying we’ve been crazy around here, and we have been, but we’ve also been doing mad upgrades to the apartment, mostly in the form of Metro shelving. It’s not just for industrial kitchens anymore. You might remember our … Continue reading
A Tale of Four Strollers
I’m mad hectic these days, but I’m trying to, at the very least, take some pictures of what’s happening lately at the RocketDigs. One thing is lots of shifting of stuff. Another thing is erecting Metro shelving, and also a … Continue reading
The Renter’s Artwork Backdrop

One-Bedroom, Meet Two-Bedroom
Holy mackerel. We did it. Remember that wild hair I mentioned about a month ago? Stash the DVDs, stash the books, make ourselves a two-bedroom? We actually did it. All three. On a trial basis, anyway. After much discussion re … Continue reading
Bringing in the reinforcements: Space Angels!
Oi. Between work, doctor’s visits, a failed attempt to wean RocketBaby from her occasional bottle (I am not looking forward to her teenage years), unexpected medical bills–it’s a crazy week on the space station. Fortunately, we did make some headway … Continue reading
