In the 7 years of my marriage we have moved 8 times, including 4 different states. That’s a lot of moving. This stay in Boston was going to be a long term deal. And it has been the longest stay so far – 17 months. But a few weeks ago my husband was on a business trip and called me with some big news. We’re moving again – this time to St. Louis Missouri.
I had plans to share pictures of our apartment when I got it all finished (which you thing would have happened after 17 months) but I’m just not there yet. However, since we’re moving I thought I would share the pictures of what I have done. That way it’s at least documented right?
These are the pictures I took to list the apartment for sublease so there aren’t any good close ups or glamour shots. I thought I would take more later and add them. But right now the entire house house is covered in boxes. Both filled and empty. It’s a little bit chaotic and stressful, but I should be used to it by now right? 
Lets start at the front door. Well, not the exact front door because that’s only a closet and the washer/dryer, but right around the corner.
^^ This is the little hallway between the entry and the living spaces. I started refinishing that dresser months and months ago, and I still haven’t made anymore progress on it. I bought the stuff to finish it a few weeks ago, but once I found out we were moving I decided to wait. I don’t want to scratch the new paint job in a moving truck.
^^ That painting is in the top 5 favorite items in our house. It was painted by my Aunt and I was always told it was of my grandma as a child.
^^ Next up are the living areas. I love me some Ikea bookcases and frames. I also love a good faux bois pillow.
^^ Then, down the hallway. The room straight ahead is Abi’s, the right is the office and the left (just past the bathroom) is the master. That piano is another one in the top 5 best objects. It was also my grandmas. I wish I had taken the towel off the seat. I have it there so that the amazing needlework seat cover she made doesn’t’ get hurt.
^^ Now we’ll move on to the office area. one of the first things we purchased when we got into this apartment were all those bookshelves. We got 5 of them. And I bet you can’t figure out which one is my desk
^^ Then Abi’s room. This is the room I wish I had spent more time on it. I had such great plans for it. The most I was able to get to was the paint the bed that I thrifted for $20, and the Ikea shelves (that was an adventure) with toy bins. I’ll have to do a post about that little doll house under the window. My husband made that out of a cardboard box for Abi, then they painted it together. So fun.
^^ And now we’ll just end off with the worst room in the house shall we? The master bedroom is the one that I have done NOTHING to. I dream about new bedding. Someday I’ll get to it.
So how was the little house tour? I’m excited to someday get settled so I can really go at it.
