Cleaning some of the things

Mar 04, 2012 15:27

Been in a domestic kind of mood this past week. I started following unfuckyourhabitat on Tumblr, which features tips on cleaning & organizing and the before/after photos people post of their spaces. And validates them with amusing gifs! Calling it "unfucking" has been motivating; thinking "I'm going to unfuck my room" sounds better than "clean my ( Read more... )

Re. your books, it's possible to send anything that doesn't have ads in it via media mail, which is a lot cheaper. Also, I love the term "unfucking"! xD

Wow, media mail is WAY cheaper. It's quite possible I was using their price calculator wrong because they were saying $12 for a 1 lb package.

Unfucking is such a good and useful term.

"Unfuck" is my new favorite word. Mental note to use it in daily conversation.

I unfucked my habitat last week, and it only brought up new issues re: all the storage/shelving/etc I now need to buy in order to arrange my stuff D:

Ugh yeah, all the stray stuff that turns up. I'm glad I've got my hooks coming so I can keep some stuff off the floor but there's still more stuff to sort out.

Yes, "unfucking" should be used in all aspects of life :)

"Unfuck" is the perfect word to describe what you need to do when your house gets too messy.

It really is so, so appropriate. Mere cleaning is not enough.

oh wow, I need that tumblr in my life. Good luck with cleaning bookshelves! I need to unfuck mine before I get crushed under a pile of books.

I was proud of myself for getting all the books off the floor until I realized it made the shelves a big overcrowded mess. Good luck with yours!

I've never even bought curtains...I've always wanted to because I know they'd look so pretty, but I feel like they'd be a pain to install correctly. You'll have to let me know how that goes! lol

Oh and I love that bedspread (and Anthropologie in general). I wish their stuff wasn't so expensive =(

The hooks and curtain rod are already above the withdow, so it'll just be a matter of switching out the fabric. I'm assuming the curtain I ordered has a fabric slot at the top for the curtain rod.

I love those expensive bedspreads :( There's a cheaper one at Urban Outfitters I might ask for for my birthday.

P.s.- I don't know if you can see my friend locked entry but Blackie died yesterday. :( He was the last of my cats you guys knew in high school.
