Big blue wall...



As you may know we have been having three rooms in our little apartment painted. It's been taking what seems like a lifetime but last night - LATE last night - our friend finished our living room. And I love it! He also finished the little hallway between the living room and kitchen. I love the colors we picked out. I love how bright and airy the room feels. I just love it! The wall is actually more blue than purple/violet since it's dried over night which is the color we were going for. We're shopping for a new couch and TV stand now and possibly a new corner desk/shelf unit for Alex. Our place is small but in a great location and we pay very little rent so we can put up with it's idiosyncrasies like blowing the breaker if we make coffee and run a fan at the same time! LOL The house was built in 1898. It's old.

Another great thing is while we are gone to Sweden, my sister/landlord is putting in new laminate wood floors in the hallways, kitchen, pantry and bathroom! And we're getting a brand new toilet. That in itself is reason to celebrate!

Next week our friend returns to start on the kitchen. He's taking it from bland beige to bright yellow and white. I can't wait!
