03/11 Chapter 626: This Is Just The Start
Our little apartment is almost ready, how exciting! Now it finally looks and feels like an actual apartment.
Of course, there are still plenty of things missing, like the laundry room countertop, cabinet handles, bathroom furniture, soap dishes, the wardrobe, and so on. But all the major work — the flooring, tiles, electrical and plumbing work, plastering, your bed, desk, and everything else — is already looking lovely!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the color of my wall after spending what felt like forever trying to decide on it. And my bedroom was no different. It took me a LONG time to find the exact color I wanted for my room, the perfect blue. And guess what? I couldn't find it. I bought a shade of blue that was lighter than what I wanted, but my lifesaver angel Thiago bought some blue pigment, mixed it into the lighter paint, and voilà! It turned into the exact shade of blue I'd been dreaming of.
I also added some wainscoting to my bedroom, just like in the living room, but I asked Thiago to paint it white so it would stand out against the blue, and it turned out absolutely beautiful! Not to brag, but I really do have great taste, and everything is looking SO, SO pretty!
Now, the main things still left to do are for Thiago to tear out the bathroom so we can install that damn shower, buy the TV stand so we can move the living room TV in, finish the kitchen cabinets over the next few weeks, wait for the storage bed base to arrive so we can install the mattress, and buy your mattress. After that, I think we'll finally be able to move into our new little place, our new home! I am soooo incredibly excited. New surroundings, new life! Yay!
I think we'll manage to move in by Christmas. Here's to another year together, and to a wonderful year ahead!
