Holy crap, we finally cleaned up our apartment
A mere 3 months after moving in we have finally gotten boxes unpacked, gear sorted and put into storage. We can walk around without dodging crap!
Here’s the view from the front door. The furniture looks all shitty, but we’re going to donate that couch just as soon as we can decide on a new one. The dining chairs are going to be reupholstered in nice fabric and we’ll probably be getting rid of the leather chairs (they were free anyway).
Here’s our computer desk. As soon as we can get a contractor in we’re going to have a built-in desk installed in this little nook. When it’s all said and done, the only thing showing will be the computer, keyboard and mouse.
Stephanie has an old lamp that she’s had since childhood and is not eager to part with. Last night I popped a big ol’ bulb in it and put it behind the TV. It looks pretty sweet when all the other lights in the apartment are off.
Here’s Stephanie cooking up a shit-storm. Those aren’t the final positions for those lamps. We just wanted to put them away in some corner while we were cleaning. We’ll also be moving all those bottles off the top of the fridge once we get a good counter-space to set them on. That, plus getting rid of all the pictures on the fridge, will really clean the place up. [Editor: just kidding, stephanie]
When it’s really raining, we don’t get much moisture coming in the windows. If it pours inside, though, we don’t care. Concrete floors! The two plants there are basil and rosemary. The basil grows like mad. We could probably eat fresh pesto twice a week if we wanted to. Speaking of such, Stephanie, let’s make pecan pesto and rotini tonight.
The storage above the master bath. It’s a bit of a hassle to get to (we’ve got to get the ladder out). There’s a surprising amount of space up there. If I’m willing to tempt death by standing on the very top step of our ladder while hoisting a huge box I think we can get a few more cubic meters of storage up thar.
Stephanie cooking. Notice the magnetic knife thing on the wall to the right. Highly recommended, not only makes you cook better, but it’s awesome for self-defense. You can see our secondary storage above the other bathroom to the top-right in this picture.
More Stephanie cooking. What’s that certificate in the background? Let’s zoom in for a closer look.
hrm….
