SAM! YOU BOUGHT A HOME! And.....the fridge must be exorcised immediately O.O Please say the rest of the place is cleaner?
Somewhat? The walls are...kind of gross. They very clearly owned at least one cat.

If you take measurements of your closet (don't forget depth as well) an elfa designer at the Container Store will customize a design for you and then pull all the parts you'll need. I have custom shelving from every major manufacturer and theirs is by far superior in quality and highest in price, just so you know.
That was my plan! Though I find Elfa kind of ugly, I can’t deny it’s both efficient and reasonably priced.

I may have missed something, but why are you spackling your walls before painting? Does that always need to be done?
Not always, but if you have a bunch of holes in the walls, it’s good practice. There were a LOT of rather large holes in the walls, particularly where shelves were mounted, so I wanted to fill them in. I’ll try to remember to take photos of the spackling I did when I’m back there tomorrow.

Congratulations on your new home! Did you ever find a subletter for your apartment?
I haven’t even started looking yet -- I only told my landlord I had closed AFTER I closed. I’m in a crunch but I’m hoping my landlord will take last-month’s-rent as a lease-break fee.

Sam, so happy for you!!! Also been following you since the mid-oughts and our life milestones have lined up in some odd ways -- this week you got your first home, I bought my first new car! Yay for both of us. Sorry yours involves more cleaning and work.
Aw congratulations on your new car! I hope it’s awesome and fights you less than my condo is fighting me :D

I sure hope the reno/nesting experiences lead to some domestic-hijinks fics :3
Maybe eventually. At the moment it’s too exhausting to both execute and write about. :D
