We have moved!

Robin and I found a new apartment and moved in on October 1st.  Since then we have been quite busy will making our apartment a nice place to live.  The previous tenant had interesting decoration ideas.  We have quite different taste than she did so we have been painting up a storm.  Here are a few pictures to show  what we have been up to.

Living Room

Lovely red with grey stripes has been replaced with “bamboo white”.  The walls are white with a hint of yellow.  We still need to put pictures on the wall and maybe a rug in front of the couches. We are quite pleased with the results here.

Entry way

For some reason, I didn’t take pictures of the entry way. You can see a small bit of the color in the doorway in the picture on the top left.  The picture next to it shows the mirror designs that were in the hallway. We painted it a crisp white.  Ignore the laundry basket in the picture… and the light hanging from a wire.

Bedroom

The yellow and brown in the bedroom was also replaced with white.  It looks great with my bedspread.  There are still a few things to be done in the bedroom, but at the moment it works.

Bathroom

Just in time for Halloween we replaced the old toilet seat with a boring white one.  The old one had real razor blades, barbed wire, and for those times when you want to use the restroom at night and don’t want to turn on the lights – LED lights (although, I am not sure how you would find the switch in the dark… it is quite small and hard to see even with the lights on). Call me strange, but I will take a boring white toilet seat any day of the week over the old one.

The kitchen is still being worked on, but here is one thing I did in there. When it is done, we will post more pictures.
