Nikki and I always daydream about the one day when we settle down, and actually buy a house we plan to live in for more than 5 years or so, and of course we dream of what that home will look like, and my dreams always involve having a Man Cave big enough for a ridiculously large TV, couch, computer and Bar. We have obviously never had the luxury of that much space, and judging by our current average of a move every 14 months I don't see it in our near future. However even without a dedicated bar, for the following reasons we shipped 11 cases of wine to Russia (call this the denial stage of why we aren't addicts...)
Reason number one- Fueled by the prospect that good wine is outrageously expensive in Russia
Reason number two- We will use a stockpile of Californian wine as gifts to locals who help us out
Problem number one- our apartment is quite small
Solution- we now have a Wine Hallway
As you enter our home and walk to the kitchen you are met in the hallway by the wine shrine as it were. SO there is a picture. Last piece of furniture, Last box removed from the house, This Move is FINISHED..... Put it in the books, Our third move together is complete! Now that is something to drink a bottle of wine too!
ErminaDan and all those that were left in suspense on the acquisition of this wine bar/shelving at IKEA, the Trip took an hour and 20 minutes there, 4 hours of shopping/maneuvering the products around the Store/ Loading the car, and 2 hours home (afternoon traffic is much worse than Morning) for a total trip time of 7+ hours to get the furniture. Not terrible, but again the IKEA is 9 miles away as the bird flies...
