Hello and hope you had a great weekend! I feel like my blogging has been a bit sporadic, but I promise it’s with good reason: my hubby and I are remodeling our room! We aren’t doing any heavy reconstruction, but we are upgrading our room design and greatly improving the aesthetics. The idea really started with a spark of inspiration from all of the records I’ve been posting on Instagram (the “Record A Day” photo challenge). I wanted a new record player (post here), which then lead to wanting a “listening station”. While our boy was in Las Vegas all of last week, my husband and I went to work on the room. We are still working on sorting through all of our things, but two sections of the room are pretty much complete. Pictured above is our listening station (designed by my hubby), and we are still waiting for my Crosley Executive Portable USB Turntable from Wayfair to arrive (which it should as this posts). The picture below is the mural of Paris we bought from Ikea (you’ll notice a lot of our new furnishings are from Ikea, as they are practical and attractive). The little pictures at “The Chen Listening Station” and the mural are the places we went to on our honeymoon. I will be resuming my normal blogging schedule soon, but I hope you all pardon the interruption!
