a fancy, schmancy adventure!
upon the alteration of identification for our apartment building,
thomas, josephine and i decided to go on an adventure with the end goal being a
redecoration of our bland living room (see exhibit a).
exhibit a

our first destination was savers thrift department store. thrifty for cheapness, department store for classiness. this savers is in a etch-a-sketchy area of minneapolis. we drove into the under construction dirt rocky parking lot and found a spot. we found a records area and joey and tom commenced flipping through them cheapo style. 5 records made the final cut. near the records were books, they will die later in this adventure. some tragedy for this uplifting adventure tale.
shakespeare for intellectualness

we left savers with our goods, and spent no more than $10. we headed west for uptown, the hipster part of minneapolis.
but first, here is what was the result of the books and records

{records on wall from left to right: rogers and hemmerstein, the velveteen rabbit, the ray charles chorus sings of things to do on a rainy night, and the sound of music.}
while in uptown we gazed through the opposite of savers...urban outfitters. we picked up a tapestry, frames for our records and we all bought some clothes. i bought a $5 rhamphorhyncus dinosaur shirt. it goes well with my current dinosaur obsession.
the tapestry decorated our wall real fast.

adventure sidenotes: the 5th record we bought which is not on the wall was mary poppins. we used a 'scientific' broom to make the records straight and even on the wall. we moved the furniture from its original positions giving a pleasent comfort. the pictures do no justice to the awesomeness of the room, everyone and everybody should come visit, especially kristen kreuk.

amazing what 2 books, 5 records and a tapestry can do for a room. I LOVE IT! what creativity. you inspire me to redue my dorm room.
