True, we moved in over three weeks ago but it seems to take a lifetime to get anything accomplished (it is also difficult to get big projects done because Justin works a lot - and thankfully so since I am still unemployed, however there are some tasks that simply can not be completed be one.)
A few weeks ago I took up the daunting task of painting our bedroom while Justin dealt with the morning crowd at work. While the bedroom isn't the biggest room in the apartment it was still a lengthy and strenuous procedure that left terrors in my mind about trying to tackle painting the living room and dining room as well. After finishing the bedroom, that technically could still stand a third coat of paint, I waited until the muscle of this couple had a few days off so that we could face the largest room(s) of the apartment together.
We finally found the time early this week and swiftly got to work. Even with two people the room(s) still took two days and three coats of paint. We are happy with the results even though the job left us battered and bruised. I think I have counted four blisters on my hands thus far.
We also happily received a free dining room table whose previous owners were Justin's grandparents. This was very much appreciated since we had been dining set hunting for a while now and had been eating on the couch in the meantime. Unfortunately the chairs didn't survive and so we'll have to track some down elsewhere. Did I mention how hard it is to put a home together?
Admittedly, the colors of both bedroom and living/dining room are fairly similar, which wasn't our exact intention, but we will live with the yellow-based apartment just the same. Anyway, now that the painting has been completed we can begin to be a little bit more serious about putting the rooms together. There are still several boxes that are unpacked and countless things to organize and rearrange. Moving is a very long process.
