Still a bit chilly out here, but I'm set up for some painting tomorrow! Here is the "outdoor studio" (minus most of my supplies as I am told I have to make room for actual people as well)...
And this is where I'll take breaks waiting for the paint to dry...
We are still working on the girl's room (waiting on bunkbeds) and our room (the place everything goes until it's put away), but in the meantime, I thought I would share pictures of some of our spaces. I always love seeing pictures of everyone's living spaces, so hope you will enjoy mine as well!
First we have the entry (we would have called this the mud room in NH!)...ugly old armoire I stained way too dark about 12 years ago - but it's great for holding shoes and stuff. The plastic bins are where the girls are dropping their backpacks for now. I'd like to replace all this with some pieces I saw at Pottery barn one day...
Next is what you see when coming in that entry...the living room. Painting by Karla G on ebay...
Here is the living room from the kitchen view. (I'm watching HGTV!)
Here I'm standing in the dining area and starting towards the hall. On the right is a wet bar. That's our washer/dryer open in the hall. I'm washing the whites...
Looking down the hallway. Vibrant flower paintings by Julie Fillo (on etsy now). The girls' bathroom is on the right, their bedroom on the left, and at the very end on the left is our ridiculously large bedroom...
That's all I'll show for now. The rest of the apartment needs work before you can see it! However, here are a couple shots from Easter when we had our egg hunt by the pool. Our apartment is two floors above the door you see here - nice and private...
And here is Jen hunting for eggs. In the fountain behind her are a bunch of goldfish. We aren't sure who put them there last year, but they are thriving!
And here are these three just 'cuz they are so cute. Mine is the tallest. She dressed herself and did her hair. I take no credit for that! Darling skirt by Jen of ivyrose...we've been wearing it for 4 years now!
I hope you enjoyed my little tour. For those who are not wanting to see my home and would rather see my art, I'm going to start painting again this week and will hopefully have some things to share very, very soon!
We are all moved in to our new apartment...aside from a bit more organizing. The girls were on spring break this week, so it has been nice having the extra help. I'm still hanging art, putting books and books and books on shelves (we have way too many books!), and putting things away in cabinets and closets. But when I take a break and sit on my balcony, this is one of the things I get to look at!...
I'll take more pictures when I have time....and hope to get started painting again very soon on my "craft balcony"!
