Our Little Place

Hi family. I know you have all been asking to see some pictures of our apartment. It takes awhile to unpack and get organized, especially in a one bedroom! We still have a lot of work to do...

This is our living room

A book shelf in the dining room

The kitchen. Look! A dishwasher!

Our bedroom. There are two huge windows, we love it!

At the back of the apartment there is a built in office area.

Now for some views- from the office window.

From the balcony off the living room

We really love where we ended up. The apartment is great and spacious! We can't wait for the weather to heat up so we can get out and explore this place. Daniel loves his job and we are beginning to love Wyoming. Come see us!

1st Grade Science

It's done! The bedroom turned laundry room is back to bedroom. And wow, it looks nice.

When the washer and dryer were put in, they put five holes in the wall to find the water source. Instead of patching the wall, they covered it up, with really ugly partical board.

On the opposite wall, paint was peeling off in huge pieces. Oil based paint was applied over water based paint without any prep sanding or scraping.

Isn't that the very first science project you do in 1st grade? Oil and water don't mix people! Even when it's in paint. Sheesh.

What's that saying? It always looks worse before it looks better? Amen to that. It wasn't pretty but we did it. Check out these befores, durings and afters.

For You Mom and Dad

Hi Mom, Hi Dad. You wanted to see some of the improvements we have made around the house right? Here are some pictures of the new furniture, the new vanity for the downstairs bathroom, and my spray painted door handles. Now, who is going to come visit me???

Blue Chairs and Sunflowers

Hi friends, I entered a photo contest at BLOOM and was chosen as a finalist! Visit here to see all the awesome entries. Happy fall.

ps. . . this isn't the photo, but these blue chairs are my most recent thrift store find.

I LOVE them.

Home Improvement

There has been a lot going on at the Maple house, check out all the improvements. . .

Remember the retro but cool window cornice? We painted it chocolate brown and all the trim around the windows white. I think it looks TONS better.

We put this gas insert in last year and just now finishing it all. I really love the way the sage green looks. What do you think Mom and Dad?

We also built a path to the basement door. No more trampled grass.
