The Grand Tour!

I unpacked everything last Saturday, but haven't gotten around to uploading + drawing all over the photos yet... I've been quite productive today (despite having the electricity out in our room for most of the day thus forcing me to move myself and my computer and a pile of blankets and pillows to a corner of the living room by the heater... I felt like a hobo). And here it is! Doodles are a mixture of things to come and explanation of things that are there. Hope that makes sense...

Ok, here we go... LOTS of pictures ahead!!

The Closet

 AFTER (plus suggestions for improvement!) ;)

The Kitchen

Cabinets BEFORE
The most horrid contact paper I have ever seen...
Cabinets AFTER
...luckily it came off pretty quickly.
Inside the drawers...
I discovered this cute paper underneath circa the 1970s! ♥ Much preferred...
The Kitchen!
There really was no "before" because it was the same but with no stuff in it...

The Bedroom

BEFORE
Our room... we got two old dorm desks and a couple of wooden chairs at Goodwill!
AFTER

Desktop wallpaper by Geninne!


The Living Room

BEFORE

AFTER

There you have it, folks. The gist of our new apartment. I would like to fill it with plants and rugs and blankets and cozy things like that, but first we have to have MONEY... I've applied for three different positions around town and will keep on applying till I have a source of steady income! In the meantime, I'm cooking up some fun stuff for Scoutaroo. Hoping I can pull it off, still doing research, but you can expect a thing to happen that will be different than before... with that cryptic message, I bid you adieu!

    Your apartment looks wonderful! I love the drawings you added to the photos and your couch looks like it is incredibly comfortable.

      Thank you! And yes, it is SUPER comfortable. We let people sleep on it. Tall people have to curl up a bit, but it's seriously the most comfy couch in the world. XD

    Ciara Kay,

    Your place looks awesome! :D The Cupboard Paper did look hideous though, good thing you decided to get it out of there, and I think your drawings are so good. wish I could draw like that! Have A Great Weekend!

    I love how you drew things onto the picture--I used to do that too! Your ideas are great and your place looks cozy and homey. Enjoy!

      Thanks! It has a long way to go before I'm satisfied, but I'll be working on it little by little. ;)
