The Apartment

ceebeegeeI've been buried in my apartment lately, ever since I cleared out my storage unit and brought all those boxes into the place. The living room has a bunch of boxes across the floor but is slowly starting to look habitable. We unpacked almost all of the kitchen stuff and that's starting too look pretty good. However, the kitchen is still a little underfurnished--we need a table in there, and the landlord mentioned putting a window into the wall between the kitchen and the living room which would be AWESOME for parties.
The bathroom is shaping up nicely--Lori and I are very much on the same page as far as decorating and neatness. We want a soothing, zen feeling to the bathroom--clean and fresh and as relaxing as possible. It is a beautiful bathroom, with very high ceilings so it doesn't feel claustrophobic. We've added some little candles and decorative soaps to the tile shelves in there, and put up some itty bitty, very colorful pictures to stand out against the clean white of the walls. It is *very* relaxing now; Lori and I have been just walking in and staring at it. So pretty! We still have to put up towel racks though, and we're going to paint the walls and put up a curtain for the window. I have a paint design in my head--rich blue (almost indigo) stripes, kind fo wide but spaced fairly far apart. I want a kind of fresh, Caribbean-port-town-circa-1800s kind of feel, like the colonial Bahamas.
My bedroom is almost there. I have put up many of my pretty little pictures and decorations and shadow boxes. I'm considering getting another computer desk that's perhaps a little taller with more shelf space. I *love* my closet--it is quite big and soooooo roomy! There's a lot of space on top as well, for my out-of-season clothing. Just being in my room and seeing all my stuff neatly laid out or neatly tucked away makes me happy.
I've really been burrowing in--all I want to do is get as settled as possible.
