This is the ugly ass couch we used to have. It belonged to my husband's ex-wife's grandparents who bought it in the 60s from a thrift store in Idaho. It pretty much embodies everything one might hate about a couch. The only way it would be more white trash is if it had cigarette burns and some springs to poke you in the butt.
This is what we took out/off of my husband's desk when I cleaned it out.
For reference, we filled an entire trash can with stuff. Mostly old papers that he for some reason thought he still needed, like financial paperwork from 1992. Don't ask me.
Side view of my woodshed. My deck is cluttered with stuff that didn't survive the Great House Purge of 2010 that needs to be taken to the dump or the thrift store, but the woodshed's nice!
It's sixteen feet long and eight feet wide, with two foot slope to the roof. We used cedar pickets from a fence- rot resistant, woohoo! Look nice, too. The roof is OSB oriented strand board that I painted red.
Inside view. It'll have a door on either side, and stairs that go from the porch down into it. Again, some clutter that needs to be hauled out. (Anyone want a microwave too small to pop popcorn in?? No? Neither did I.)
My BRAND NEW SPIFFY COUCH. And my cute daughter. And my nice Macbook Pro. But the couch is what's important because it's LEATHER and RECLINES and isn't that POS you saw before. Also I got it half off because I'm awesome like that. (You can see the woodshed from the window! It cuts down on worries about people seeing me walk around after a shower. =P And glare on the TV. Very important.
The desk as it is now. I should have taken a before pictures of it, but alas, I didn't. Also, yes, that is a scuba tank that's been turned into a lamp.
My current TV stand. It's made of partcle board. See the clear drawers on the end? See how nothing's in them? Wondering why they're there? Because that's all that's keeping the TV stand from leaning over and falling down. Also sometimes when I feel like it, I put the daughter's toys in there. They never stay long in there because it's a fun game to Make Mommy Go Insane and Hate Her Life- aka, THROW ALL THE TOYS AROUND!
