Home Sweet Home...

I finished the mini-remodel late yesterday/early this morning just in time to have friends over this afternoon. One friend remarked that it was quite possibly the smallest apartment he had ever been in which is one of the reasons I often call it the smallest possible living space (for me). I've added some pictures below:


Even the bathroom got a bit of a change with updated colors and the pictures from the old apartment finally making it to the wall.


This side angle of the kitchen wall gives you an idea of how big the space is. My mini-fridge and mini-oven while cute are sometimes a bit on the small side but very functional.


The couch assembly went fairly quickly. The most shocking part of the whole endeavor was that I had moved the mattress out in to the hallway and posted on Craig's List that I was getting rid of it. I called one of the girls who emailed to tell her she could come get it but before she could someone stole it from the hallway. Note to self: never leave anything you care about in the hallway.


Included in the additions are a collapsible "sphere chair" which is like a camping chair ran into a papasan chair. Very cozy and very collapsible.

Feeling a bit like I had run the gauntlet of furniture adventures, it was nice to curl up on my new couch last night and go to sleep. While it is a sleeper sofa, having the option to leave the room assembled and ready for company was delightful and well worth the adventure.

I guess we are going to have to start calling you Martha Stewart now? Looks like you did a great job in this transformation! It's so fun to feel good about your surroundings.

Just in case you wax nostalgic, remember I took photos of the way it was last Spring. This looks so much more sophisticated!
Love, Mom
PS A WC always looks more 'tucked-in' with the toilet cover down. It is also an overlooked safety feature when little ones come to visit.(Think AJ or even the Jensen's.)
