Before and After - Painted Kitchen Reveal

My dream for as long as I can remember was to have a white kitchen. Our first apartment had a greenish/teal kitchen, which just did not go with my style but had to do. I took comfort in knowing it was not forever.

Here in Germany most bigger rental apartments do not have a kitchen included and you have to buy your own, which you'd take with you if you ever moved.

So when we moved into this place May of last year we desperately needed a kitchen. First we were planning on buying one...a big expense...but the Lord let us get one FOR FREE from strangers that needed to get rid of theirs before their new kitchen came in.

When we looked at it Patrick and I both knew THIS IS THE ONE...it's free...the appliances are all under 2 years....and the style is farmhouse.

There was only one problem...it was not white. Ha! That is what paint is for!

Guest Bedrooms

The next big thing on our apartment TO DO LIST was to get our guest-bedrooms ready for our family visiting! One of our reasons to have a bigger place is able to comfortably entertain and be able to host guests for a week or two. 

February 2018 - Home Tour

 For this month I thought I'd do a simple little tour of the rooms that are presentable...the rooms you would get to see if you'd come over my house.

The other rooms are still going through the sorting through boxes stage and are far from presentable... but in the next few weeks  3 other rooms should be looking presentable as I have family coming to visit next month! 

What?? Only 4 more weeks to get them done?? Oh no. :D

On top of working full time and getting those rooms organized my mom and grandma are in the process of downsizing and moving...so we shall see how much I get done.

Deep Cleaning & Room Tour

You know when you are super busy and things just get out of hand?....that happened to me and on top of that, the way my room was set up....I liked it but now it was just getting on my nerves. I felt like I was pumping into something every time I turned around...I felt boxed in.....so yesterday I decided to change around my room and do a really good deep clean. My bedding and my curtains were washed and every little thing was moved and dusted....the things under the bed...ahem....were pretty bad....

Here are my two Before pictures....I didn't even do my bed or anything for these pictures:

And here is my lovely after....

How do you like my new owl called "Who"?

"Le livre"→still have that left from my french classes...can you guess what it means?

I am one happy girl!!
