Last Friday morning, the decorator put up the last bits of wallpaper in the bedroom. The job should have been done by Thursday night, but there was a bit of a problem with the paper for the main wall. There was a flaw in the design and the decorator returned it and ordered a new roll in order to get it completely right.
With its dark top, it beautifully stands out against my red wall!
In the afternoon, two men came in to install the kitchen unit I had ordered in the beginning of January. It took a lot a sawing and drilling, and I’m not sure my new neighbours appreciated the noise. But then again, it was during the daytime and only lasted an hour or so.
I love the new colour scheme. The kitchen is fabulous, the bedroom very cosy – especially with the new wooden floor, and the livingroom is very trendy indeed. Maybe not everybody’s cup of tea, but I like it. And that’s what counts, isn't it?
Twelve more days to go!

Very smart !!
It's getting close now - have you done all your packing ??!!
Looks fabulous , cannot wait to see it all when you have moved in :-)
Looking good! Bet you can't wait to cook in it :-)
Are we all invited for the house warming party? (lol).
It looks very nice Martine and you are right, you are the one who has to like it. It is your nest, and it looks fabulous.
Jean, I still have to empty my kitchen units in the 'old' apartment. Given the amount of stuff I have accumulated over the last 10 years, that should take the best part of next Saturday afternoon. Luckily I have a colleague from work who has volunteered to give me a hand. I hope she won't let me down.
Anne, I'm curious to see the finished result too :)!
Antoinette, Cooking in it will be great!
Nadege, Thank you. And it goes without saying that you are all invited to my house warming party. I will be sending out the invitations presently ;)!
I think it looks fabulous! Congratulations on such a good choice.
I love it! That red wall is stunning and everything is playing nicely against it.
I can tell that you are madly in love this place.
Your Friend, m.
Mark, I think we are as excited about the move and the new decorations as Martine is.
Louise, Thank you. I'm very pleased with it myself. But knowing that other people like it too, confirms that I made the right choice.
Mark, At this stage, it is still 'puppy love' or a 'coup de foudre' - not quite the same but they both give you that 'butterflies-in-tummy' feeling. Let's hope that in a few months time it will have turned into true, everlasting love :)
Nadege, I really wish I could invite all my blog friends to a real house warming party to show you how much a appreciate your comments and empathy.
