Christmas is home!
After having John and Sherry from This Young House help me convince Eric that we needed a tree, he obliged and we went shopping today. It’s our first Christmas living together so we had NOTHING! It’s a bit of an expense this year, but it won’t be too bad the next ones, since we got [...]
We decided on the entry wall!
This Apartment Therapy Cure has made us more conscious about all the unfinished projects around the house, and the entryhall was a tough one for us. After much thinking we decided not to paint for now. It’d be a waste (in our frugal opinion) to cover perfectly good, clean and nice paint so soon. Maybe [...]
The plants in our lives
We’re very happy to anounce that we got our curtains back. We had them cut to size, and it took two months for the nice lady to finish them (because of some misunderstandings…) but they’re back. We’re very happy to hear that, because we really need them! Our home is extremely sunny, and here we [...]
It’s freezing cold!
Ok, maybe not so much, but it IS cold. Today, for the first time in two weeks, I’ve gone to my German 8AM class. It was raining, and as I opened my umbrella the wind took care of it. Goodbye umbrella. It was cold, and I realized that the clothes I was wearing two weeks [...]
We’re back!
After a couple of weeks of what a doctor called “the worst cold I’ve seen in years” we’re here. Eric has been super busy taking on all my tasks around the house, working his 8h, cooking and cleaning and helping me with my deadlines. He’s the bestest of the whole wide world and the solar [...]
The Cure
I’m doing the Eight Step Cure following Apartment Therapy’s advice and encouragement (I joined the “Eastern” group… what could be more eastern than Spain? I failed to take a picture of what my storage room looks like right now, but you can have a small hint looking at this:
Since 90% of what you see in the photos [...]
Window treatment lazy lazy
We’re lazy… yes, we are. And sometimes we just say we don’t like stressing over things, we like saying that we take it easy… but sometimes it’s just plain laziness. And here’s an example.
It’s been 3 months and a week since we moved in here, 2 months and a half since we got our bed, [...]
We love the Swedish download
Well, yes we do. And for a good reason. They furnished our place.
With the wonderful surprise of being in Apartment Therapy, one of those websites that we check (100% sincere here) at least 3x/day, we’re launching our “We Love the Swedish” series. We’ll take you, step by stape, through the whole process of furnishing from [...]
The work in progress in our apartment
Over at the Lazy Organizer Lara Gallagher is asking for help with a decorative touch in her Talk About Tuesday. And we are doing so too. We’ve been thinking for a while about what to do with our “entry hall” and we’re pretty sure we want to do something with paint.
Since our walls are actually [...]
