I was thinking something simple like this:

I could find something at Target, but Amazon seems much easier to search and destroy.
Truly just shoe storage? or shit wrangling storage?

Shoes and a place to plant my ass while I put them on because I'm old.

Or, you know, just put the cats in the stand...

I have more shoes than you think so I need at least two shelves. And black is a must-have. And damn girl, I ain't that baller! Hmmmm maybe the $40 Amazon one might be the ticket.

I admittedly laughed at $500 for an entry bench. But they’re real pretty so I said fuq it and suggested them any way.

I hear the pretty ladies with good credit scores like a man with good taste in furniture and other things in life.

Actually, I just like nice things sometimes.

A couple more bachelor pad mods from this week.

Never had one of these before. I dig it.

Nesting. Austin Energy should be paying me back up to $170 for enrolling in their energy saving shindig. From dumb thermos to smart thermos connected to Alexa in less than an hour. The E models were on sale for a pair, and the things it lacks compared to the nicer one, I did not care about.

And since the house is Unit B, well, obvious name is obvious.

After going through the light bulbs in the house to see what I needed, since a few are out and odd sizes, I decided against going with Hue stuff for now. The fans take E11 bulbs and even though E11 to E12 converters exist, I do not think the bulbs will fit. Instead, spending more money on some additional lighting. Made the mistake of browsing West Elm again and noticing that oh, my $50 credit expires Jan. 1... saw these lamps and :megusta:

So, I'll take twoadees:

And twoadess:

And yes, I bought the Edison LED bulbs too.

I've been a huge advocate of these for a long time, in fact I think I convinced :fax: to go down the bidet route.

I have one more project to do - :pinshit: bedroom mirror project - then I want to post photos of the place again. Have the sofa, picked up some ottomans, put curtains up in the bedroom.. place feels super legit and I am very pleased with how it came together.

I was planning to do that project this weekend, then realized the car that I could haul Home Depot stuff home with has no seats and only half a dash. Whoops.
