My big strong man and I have been married for 7 months, 1 week and 1 day. We moved into our mini apartment just before the wedding, but really didn't start living here until a month after. So since July we have been very slowly trying to make this the most livable little abode we can muster. Our lease expires the last of April. I'm really going to push to have it look and feel just right by then. Maybe then it will be worth staying a little longer. At the very least, we'll feel happy as long as we are here.
Here's a quick visual overview of how far (or not so far) we've gotten in making it just right.
Custom bookshelf made by a good friend. Telescope was a Christmas gift from my mom.
What a mess. Roadside find coffee table. Our cat, Coltrane, spends part of the day in the giant cardboard box.
My "work station." Unfortunately, it's really just a disheveled corner of our living room.
The bedroom. I finished the large curtain today. It blocks our ugly, drafty back door. The curtain on the right is, sadly, a fleece blanket.
Now you can really tell that's a blanket. This corner needs help. The little 3-drawer dresser is really on its way out, I promise. That garbage bag needs to find a clothes drop-off bin. The instruments should be where we'll use them.
I have no excuse for this. Piles of my half clean clothes.
Tomorrow I have 2 goals.
1. Pick up the bedroom
2. Finish the bedroom curtains
I'll be honest; if I start one or both of those I will be glad. Maybe I'll even take a picture or 2 and get myself to post about it.
