A photo of a white IKEA organiser/drawer/thing, the sort with the open front and wicker baskets as the "drawers". This one is sitting on a little stand and is in a 2x2 configuration for the baskets.

Saturday night status: assembling IKEA furniture. Let nobody claim we don't know how to party!

A wide-angle photo of a room that's empty apart from a large white IKEA cupboard at the right. On the far side of the room the view looks out into the backyard, and there's sunlight streaming in.

The same room, but now there's a second IKEA cupboard next to the first, a waist-high chest of drawers, and a white nightstand. There's a bed at the left, and the top light is on because the view out the window into the backyard is black because it's now night time.

About five hours of this afternoon involved unpacking a bunch of stuff from a battered old IKEA cupboard and extremely shitty Fantastic Furniture desk, then assembling a new IKEA cupboard, chest of drawers, and night stand. Between all the walking back and forth with that plus my regular workout on the elliptical, I've done 12.5k steps now. ::collapses::

A photo of our lounge room with our very nice new La-Z-Boy (which I always read as "lay-zed-boy") lounge. There's a three-seater facing a TV that's sitting on a wooden TV stand, and two single chairs. They're a fairly light grey/cream sort of colour which might have been a mistake but there weren't really any others we liked at all when we were looking.

New lounge! 🎉 The thing I'm MOST looking forward to is being able to sit on it for an extended period of time without getting a sore back. Which is very convenient timing since Starfield has just come out, and next month also has Forza Motorsport and Cities: Skylines II launching as well. 😁

A photo of our lounge room. There's a box window towards the middle of the photo with a wooden TV stand and TV in front of it and bookshelf speakers flanking the TV, a round table with a lamp and various doodads in the corner to the left of the TV stand, plus a couple of other little side tables. The middle of the room is completely empty now due to the lack of lounge.

We're getting a new lounge delivered tomorrow (the old one is eight years old and has gone completely saggy because it was a comparatively cheap one) so this afternoon we moved the old lounge out to under the patio to make space for the new one, and MAN does everything echo in here now, christ!

A photo of a short (maybe 60cm long? idk I didn't measure it) white floating shelf attached to a wall. There's three others visible, all with miniatures in various states of paintedness on them.

Hung up yet another one of the spare floating shelves we had. And we've still got one of the same size left!

A photo of a corner of our garage with all of our new garden equipment mounted on the wall with hooks: the "Power Head" that holds the battery for the edger, hedge trimmer, and line trimmer attachments, as well as the leaf blower. There's also a small fire extinguisher, and small garden fork and spade.

A photo of the inside side wall of our garage with a bunch of vertically-hanging hooks attached to two wooden planks up near the ceiling. There's various tools hanging off them (a couple of saws, a couple of clamps, a level, bolt cutters, a broom, etc.).

That was an excellent last mental-health-Friday off. Got all the new garden equipment (sans mower) mounted tidily on the wall in the garage, and also put in a bunch of new hooks in on the other side to similarly neaten up the stuff that was hanging there. I also took the opportunity to take the new blower for a spin to clean the floor of the garage out a bit. It's got a "Turbo" button, and HOO BOY am I glad I had the arm strap attached because it was actively pushing backwards against me!

A photo of an empty white IKEA Billy bookshelf sitting next to a full-size one, with a blue armchair next to it.

And done! Irritatingly though, they include one less shelf now than when we bought our other one two years ago.

A wide-angle photo of our home office showing a full height white Billy bookcase along the right wall and a half-size on along the left, with a third full-size one in pieces on the floor.

This morning's project: putting together a third IKEA Billy bookshelf for the office!

A photo of a white floating shelf with a bunch of boxes of Games Workshop miniatures in boxes, some of their plastic terrain, plus three large X-wing Miniatures Game miniatures.

That was a good productive morning, I put up another shelf in the back room and did yet more tidying and rearranging.

A photo of a smallish room, with stuff against all of the walls, and a spot at the back right that's been cleared out that's where the drum kit is going to go.

I spent this afternoon cleaning and tidying and rearranging the back room because I'm going to buy myself an electronic drum kit and learn to play drums! And we have absolutely nowhere else to put it, haha. I was originally looking at the Roland TD-07KV, but I'm leaning towards splurging for the TD-17KV instead...
