Bottom Floor
11 Oct
Here are pictures of the bottom floor of our apartment. It’s kind of a strange setup. You come in the front door at ground level, but our lowest level is also on ground level with the parking lot because we’re on a hill.
It’s so much cooler on this floor.
Henry’s kennel is enormous.
Yeah, I know my curtains are too short. My plan is to get brown valances and use iron on adhesive to attach them to the bottom. Remember our inflatable headboard?
You can’t see it, but the painting I did in our house in Texas is on the wall opposite the headboard.
Now that David’s contract job has become a permanent position, I really want to nest and decorate, but I hesitate to do too much because we’ll probably be moving when our lease is up. Maintenance can’t even caulk a bathtub properly, and we’ve had to call the police three times on our neighbors for domestic disturbances. If you were only going to live another six months in an apartment, would you attempt to decorate?
Yes! I would at least do a little decorating! Just make sure it will work in a house just as well as an apt. I don’t think you should cheat yourself out of something nice for the sake of practicality. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
I guess it depends on the type of person you are…personally, if I were leaving I would not. But some people feel they need to make their home like they want it while they are there…I have lived in my current home for 3 years now and have always looked at it as a “transition” before our house…so I never truly decorated it. Because I didn’t want to buy stuff for this space that may not work in the next..but that’s me..
I think you should still do little things to help make you feel at home. Everything is just temporary. You deserve to enjoy your surroundings.
