Apartment Pictures

Hi everyone! Well, we spent most of the month of February with our apartment torn apart. Not only were we taking care of an infant and had an extra person staying with us (my Mom- who was tons of help!), but we were getting some work done on our apartment to make it more liveable and homelike. One of the changes was the new wallpaper that was put up. Here are some before and after pictures of different rooms. Hope you enjoy.

PS. Some of the pictures are blurring. Sorry about that!

CANAAN AND MAX'S BEDROOM

BEFORE-

Notice the rug hanging on the wall? That is very Soviet style. There were rugs hanging on the walls of both the bedrooms when we moved in. They came down quickly. :)

AFTER

-Isn't the "road rug" incredible cute? Dougle found it as a scrap on clearance at a building store! What a awesome Daddy! We hop e to get some decorations up on the walls soon.

LIVINGROOM

BEFORE-

This picture doesn't do the terribleness of this room proper justice! The livingroom was VERY dark (poor lighting), and the wallpaper was a bit overwhelmingly brown. I told Dougle I felt like I was living in a cave when in the livingroom!

AFTER

The whole place brightened up after this lighter color was put up. Plus we got some lamps to help out, a rug and a new couch (the ones that came with the apartment were ripped and peices were broken off that exposed sharp edges and screws).

KITCHEN

BEFORE

This is a blurry picture, but we were cleaning the kitchen. When we moved in, the whole kitchen and everything in it was covered with a film of grease. It was gross, but the cabinets all looked like new after we were done! Notice also the floor and the wallpaper patterns!

AFTER

We got new tile (the tile was falling off the wall and there were chunks of cement wall exposed where there was tile missing), new wallpaper, new lights/ceiling, and new flooring. The cabinets and large appliances are the same.
