the austin powers room is on its way to being complete! how psyched am i?!?!

as some fo you guys know, i have a room in my apartment that i jokingly call the "austin powers room". it's partly my office, partly a lounge-y area for people to hang in (especially if i ever getting around to throwing a party, need to look into that!). i've wanted a room like this for years, mostly because it's just totally juvenile and fun. so when i found this apartment, the ex and i had agreed that it would be half-office, half-austin powers. the problem is, it quickly became an absolute mess... we were just buying stuff for it willy-nilly, with no real concept to it. so instead of being a cool, slick room to hang in, it was like this explosion of colors and crap. like, you'd have a seizure walking into the room.

so, anyway... last night, davissquarecats and his roomie came over, and took away the 2 pieces that were driving me the most bonkers: a giant blue velvet hand-shaped chair, and an ottoman shaped like a yellow puzzle piece. i know they will have a fantastic home with the guys. (and i'm bummed i didn't walk home with them... supposedly they got quite a few stares when they sat in the big hand waiting for the light to change. *chortle*) in their place, i have gone all "trading spaces", and started to make the room the funky haven that i so richly deserve.

pictures coming soon.

Oooh I've always wanted an Austin Powers Room. Last year when I thought I was going to get my own apartment (the deal fell through), I was all set to set one room aside to decorate with all sorts of swanky and tacky kitsch. I just can't resist the stuff.

So have fun with that room and yes, I need to see it when you're done! :)
