Painted into a corner
Our apartment no longer looks like the Easter Bunny lives here - the rooms were painted yellow, pink and blue and we had it all painted white on Monday. The landlord is taking over half of the costs of re-grouting a spot along the wall in the kitchen but no other renovation costs. Needless to say, paying for a professional painter is not cheap but it was worth it because I wouldn't dare get on a ladder to paint parts of our cathedral ceiling.
On Tuesday, we received delivery of our couch. It's stone colored. B thought it looked more greyish in the store and is disappointed that it's taupe colored. To him, it looks like a brown couch. I love the modern design and natural color. Plus, it has a chaise lounge with a headrest. I consoled B and told him it would look more like grey if we put light-colored (perhaps white?) pillows on it but I welcome any suggestions.
Our "Hausmeister", which in our case is a company that takes care of cleaning the stairwell and maintenance of common grounds of the property, told me a month ago that our name plate on the mailbox would be changed from the previous renter to ours. I called them again today and he assured me this would be taken care of right away.
Now that the walls are painted, we can finally hang up the rest of the lights and start decorating the place with pictures.
