It’s hard to believe but in ten days, it will have been four months since the fire in the former MBIP World Headquarters happened and I lived briefly at my brother Tom’s condo and then a hotel and now I’m in the new MBIP World Headquarters, Mach IV.
And the fire turned out to be a true blessing in disguise because this place is so much nicer than the one that was destroyed by smoke and water damage from the fire.
I’m taking my time in putting this place together because I want to do it right! As of now I pretty much have all the furniture and things in place in the living room, dining room, kitchen and balcony. Let’s go take a look!
For this redecoration edition, we’ll start at the front door and check out the custom-made MBIP World Headquarters welcome mat I had made! Looking good!
Okay, let’s go inside and see what’s new in here!
I filled up the two bookcases in the corner and added one on the other side of the room. All of my books and CD’s are now out and the bookcases balance the living room nicely.
I got the coffee table all set up and I’m happy with the looks of that.
I’m amazed and surprised at how many of my little trinkets and knick-knacks survived the water-damage from the fire! I thought I’d lost a good portion of these and I’m so happy to have them back!
The entertainment center is all in place opposite the three piece sectional.
This photo is a little dark, but I’ll take a better one next time. I’m in a little bit of a hurry today!
Here’s my dining room table and there’s the framed Joan Jett pictures from the Joan Jett Hall Of Fame in my last apartment. I’ve decided to take the wall behind the dining room set and hang the pictures there and have a Joan Jett Wall Of Fame.
Tom Whalen from Technicraft came out yesterday to check it out and he’s going to come back and hang the photos for me. Stay tuned for an upcoming post on that Joan Jett installation!
The kitchen is all put together and it’s twice the size of the one in my last apartment. I need to get more magnets for the refrigerator!
The office area is still a mess, but here’s my new desk and the corner where the MBIP blogs are created every day! That lamp survived the fire!
The new MBIP World Headquarters, Mach IV, has a spacious and lovely balcony!
I got some chairs and tables and here’s the view from here.
I love sitting out here at night and watching the world go by as I drink a beer.
I got an electric grill and I’m going to start a new Friday series called, “Please Grill Me,” so stay tuned for that.
And once again, thanks to my brother, Tom, who’s put all of this stuff together for me, he’s been a huge help and I really appreciate it!
Okay, I have to go to the eye doctor now, we’ll see you all tomorrow!
