Bye Bye Apartment...

Today, we finally gave our keys and garage door opener back to the apartment complex, ending one our occupancy of our former apartment...

You may be asking why we still had the keys and garage door opener for the apartment being that we have been living in the house for a month and a half. Well, it's because of spite...

They made us pay rent until the end of March, so instead of giving them the keys and garage door opener when we moved in early February, we decided to hold onto them so they weren't able to turn our apartment around and re-rent it for March while we were still paying rent on it. They were ridiculous in not letting us break our lease, so we made sure they weren't making anything on it.

The funniest thing is that we gave them a letter prior to moving out as we were required to do (need to give them 60 days notice), and we received a letter on the apartment door on Saturday when we went to pick up Anna's bike from the garage. Their letter stated "A maintenance person will be entering your apartment on March 16 or 17 to check your water and sewer, as it doesn't appear to be working..." The reason that's funny? Because we TOLD them in the 60-day letter that we were moving out in early February to move into the house, and that we could be reached at our new address if they needed anything... The reason the water and sewer company wasn't registering anything for us is because we USED NO WATER since we weren't living there...

We're glad we're done with that apartment complex - now it's a matter of getting our full security deposit back, which I have a feeling they're going to screw us on somehow...

New Bathroom Decoration

We put up this new decoration in the master bath today after purchasing it last weekend. We really like it, and think it adds something to the generally boring bathroom... Hope you like it!


Hope you can come check it, and everything else in the new house, out in the summer!

Long Time, No Post

So it's been awhile since we have posted to this blog, and I'd like to just give a quick update as to what's been happening. It can really been described in one word:

PAINTING

We have painted the spare room, the office, AND the laundry room in the recent weeks, and have been enjoying the new new home. It's been a little over a month and a half, and we're completely excited to be here!!

We'll be sure to post new photos soon so you can check them out, and we will look forward to hearing your comments!!

New Photos after Painting the Office...

Hi everyone, and thanks for checking back in!

We have taken some new photos of the house with some of the wall hangings up, so we wanted to share with you! This weekend was spent painting the office from its ugly yellow color to our off white. We also hung a number of things on the walls! We still have some things to hang, but we're getting it done little by little...

Check out the new photos by clicking here.

Hope you like them!

New Look...

As you can tell, we changed the look of the blog. The old one was a little stale, so we changed. What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments...

The Pink Monstrosity is GONE...

This past Saturday, while Anna was hard at work in her private practice, I went to work on the pink room - filling holes in the wall, sanding them, and then painting the room. It went from looking like this when we went on the inspection:

to this:

Since we also had our new bed delivered yesterday, we put our old bed into the old pink room (which is now the official guest room and is open for business) and we're all set.

This weekend, I'll be tackling the "so bright you need your sunglasses" office, so I'll share some photos from that once I get it done.

Have a good one everybody!
