As promised, here are some shots of the condo with as many pics as I have available.  The kitchen isn’t completed yet, but the rest has been painted, the furniture feng shui’ed, and the boxes unpacked.  It was a very productive move in that I found the motivation to refurbish an antique cabinet I’ve been meaning to get to for years, and also repaired a chair that Ozzie used as a chew stick when he was a puppy.

I also discovered that if I’m not paying attention, the patio sliding door locks itself if I close it too firmly, which was found out after I was on the outside without my keys or a way back in.  I had to break in through the front door by putting my hand through the screen to unlock the outer door.  I installed a lockbox near the front door with a copy of the key, but not one for the locking security screen door.  Doh!

So, I also found out that I have the ability to rescreen my own doors, a skill I didn’t know I had until then. Strange, the things you find out when you have to.

My local Hobby Lobby store was having a massive 50% off sale on lamps, and so acquired a couple of those to complement the decor.  My favorite dining room table – a tile top surface with a pine base, had been painted forest green eons ago and didn’t match the new place, so I spent a day repainting it.  It turned out beautifully!

So, the pics are below…and sorry for the poor quality.  I simply MUST get a digital camera and stop using those damn disposable doohickies.

Living room minus pink walls

French Bleu bedroom. Oui?

Frog-butt green bathroom (with weird light stripe in shower?)

Our backyard

Pups romping in backyard.

*Okay, we’ll see about this being the “final” episode, eh?  I might have some nice thing to say about it later, like when I actually get around to finishing the kitchen and other minor details.  Until then, though…
