We finally finished our apartment.

We have spent the last week (both of us having a stomach bug, grrr...) finishing up all those annoying little details that after a year of construction we were just to lazy to finish. We put molding up around all the doors, we put crown molding above the cupboard, we painted the living room ceiling (yes we got too lazy for that), we put light trim up around the lights in the living room and outlet covers up on the outlets in the ceiling and a bunch of other finish details that we decided to live with out for a while.

That means that until we have enough money to change out the carpets we are finished!!!!

We worked really hard for a year and a half on our little apartment and we love it so much and we have finally finished every little thing, So if your from my side of the family you know what that means....... Yes, we moved!!!!!


We had some tenants skip out on their rent in January and then they moved out leaving us high and dry. They had a three bedroom apartment and it wasn't in the best shape. We had it listed for a little over three weeks with no success (most people looking for three bedrooms apparently want a house not an apartment to rent, who knew). So after a great deal of debating we decided to move from our amazing but tiny apartment upstairs to are disgusting but huge apartment. Seriously every thing we own fits in the master bedroom and the living room, all of it I swear. And after posting our first home for only two days it has been rented to a cute couple that we think we will get along well with.

So the nightmare begins again, but this time we aren't going to rewire the whole place all at once, so we will be able to tackle one room at a time. We will post pictures once everything is cleaned up and organized. Then you can look forward to posts about our NEW remodel.

It turned out so cute and I bet you were able to rent it out for a pretty penny with all the updates to it. Good luck with the new project. I guess you'll just have to move from one place to the next to make the whole complex as beautiful as the one you just moved out of.
