Making the house a home
I've been living in this house for 1½ years now. I got the keys on July 1st 2024, and my/our things were moved in the weekend of July 13-14. I had two weeks to try and get as much done, before sweet friends would come to help me, to get all my (and Arwen's) things to the new house. I started with painting everything. I was able to finish downstairs, although some areas could need an extra layer, as the walls have absorbed some paint here and there, even though I/we (a good friend helped me a few times) used the special primer on the walls. Adding the primer first, meant that I had to paint all the walls twice, taking up way more time and energy than I had originally planned. The upstairs rooms have an absurd high ceiling, and I tried to start painting there, using a special roller. But then, the guys for the floors came (which turned into a whole Triggered…-saga), so I wasn't able to paint anymore...
At least the downstairs area had been done, with the purple wall needing another layer to look better, but it is as it is... The floors had been mostly done, which was an awful bit, as things kept going wrong and it drove me nuts... I had made this whole "schedule" in my head, and now, it was disrupted several times, as the skirt boards were a mess, thanks to one dude that didn't listen to me, patronized me, and was more interested in getting my Wi-Fi, than in getting the job done... But... After the weekend of the 13-14th, Arwen and I had moved to our new home. This post will feature old and some new pictures. It may seem like a "simple & easy" post, but getting decent alt texts for my images and such... Took more time than I thought... 😇
