Lack

No, I have no lack of anything in particular at the moment (maybe of sun, warmth, a beach, the sea...) - no, I finally got IKEA´s "Lack"!!!

For weeks they had it in white only. Now they have it in my favorite color again. So, I went to IKEA with my dear brother and his huge Volvo. He - certainly - brought Lack the Hercules` way in our apartment! He then had to leave and I put Lack together all by myself - despite being real poor with tools! I also managed to put the "feet" on (they don´t belong to Lack) and turn it around all alone (wondering again how he managed to bring it upstairs all alone!!! It weighs more than it looks like...

The result - YAY (you can click to enlarge):



After looking at the same ole shelf for over 13 years (and keeping it) I deserved something new, right?

I think it will be used like this - a place to hold the lamp I grew up with.
No more.
It´s art (to me).

The "tub" in the corner to the right is a present from Ingo, he grew up with it. All real stuff from the happy 70´s :-)
And yes, I wore/wear the black clogs - and no, not from the 70´s...)

Oh, and please note the red fly swatter to the left :-) And the wishing stone I got from Freo (it was supposed to be a souvenir for a friend - but then I discovered it has a little defect and hence kept it. Like the sheep with three legs and stuff

[Ingo fixed it with a PLASTIC "cork" of a bottle of sparkling wine:



Broken stuff somehow always makes me to buy - and Ingo to fix it. I guess my wish on the stone was: Living together with Ingo!])

An addition to the scene with Lack is on it´s way, pics are to follow.
