Central Space Unit 5

Okay, time for an apartment update!

You may remember the updates to our previous apartment:

Dear GOD, what is that YELLOW!

Oh, so clean! Refinished cabinets? WOW!

Crazy repainting, refinishing amazingness in Every. Single. Room.

We have moved...

...across the courtyard!

The larger corner apartment came available and with less than 700 square feet in our current place, we were tempted.

After doing all of the work on our #11, it was hard to leave. There was a lot of damage in the new unit and we'd need to paint again, but there was a lot more space for us and the pets.


CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Above the window, the wall board is bulging out. Note the yellow. Holy CRAP, the yellow.

The living room wall, after knocking out a bulge in the wall board. More on this below.

One kitchen wall, complete with funky plaster. This is how all of the wallboard bulges looked before, hence our hesitation.

Not only did we need to deal with the weird wavy walls, but we had odd sections of mis-matched paint to touch up. And that ceiling was FILTHY.

As you can see, once we filled. primed and painted, the walls were not only smooth, but the holes were completely indiscernible.

Check out above the window. Also, behind the couch. See anything? No? Yeah, we did that. 

I'll have a few more before/after photos in the next few days. We're still in process with the bathroom and kitchen, but that photo with the red couch? It was taken the day after we moved in. Feel free to gape at our awesomeness.

Special thanks to my AMAZING mother-in-law for her help with the painting.
