My apartment, thanks to a very generous and helpful friend, is now 80% box free! However, until I get my IKEA furniture (much will have to wait until the new year as it can only be ordered and I am leaving for Christmas in 2 weeks so it may not get here in time), my apartment will not be fully picture blog worthy. I would rather show it off when it is done, etc.
But to show a little of my best apartment ever... here are pictures of Cleo in my new place:
The love of windows and birds! I decided early on that I would not worry about Cleo being on my desk. She loves windows...
I am pleased with the light blue paint. I am still adjusting to having a different place though. Apparently it takes time!
This is in the living room by the sliding door. I love the gold chair - it was my Dad's chair when I was a child and we placed "spaceship" with the navy buttons during the day when he was at work. Cleo also loves this chair. She is often near by when I blog! You can also see a bit of the green paint that I chose.
It is going to take a while for my new place to be fully set up, but at least I have a good start.
haha! it looks like Cleo is blogging!
ReplyDeleteps: can't wait to see finished apartment pictures.
ReplyDeletehave a great christmas with your family!
Cleo certainly looks very much at home! I'm sure she'll enjoy the window views. There is already a sense of spaciousness and serenity in these photos. I love the colours (Dutch blue :-)
ReplyDeletehehe! yeah, Cleo probably would love to blog! she would complain about me not letting her eat fish and expound on her love of the new apartment, pillows and general happiness!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the finished pix too as it will mean I have my furniture!
thanks also H-E for your comment. yeah. i can't get away from being Dutch-American-Canadian or the colour blue!! and yes, the spaciousness here is quite evident, esp. compared to my last place!
Cleo is one gorgeous cat. Btw, love the wall colors!
ReplyDeletethank you! :) I rather think Cleo is quite lovely too... glad you like the paint colours!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always hard moving into a new place. My husband is military, so I know how it goes. The important thing is to settle in, decorate, and make it feel like that will be your home forever, or else you'll always feel like you're someplace temporary.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new apartment.
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate it! and I think you are totally right! I am going to do more decorating tonight, even though I do not yet have the furniture I plan on getting...
thanks again!
Bwahhahahahaa, I agree, Blogging Cleo! So adorable.
ReplyDeleteShe's certainly taken to her new home!
thanks Mimi! Yes, I think Cleo really likes it here! Thank God!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very cozy - I'd love to come over for some tea and to talk books! :-)
ReplyDeletethanks! that would be fun! I can't wait until I can get my furniture and really be fully set up! If you ever come to Ottawa, we must have a tea and books time :) ... though I am pretty far away from where you are!! :)
