Our bedroom

Our bedroom! Waves crashing through dreams and sleep and awwwww!! A bit small, but can we really complain?

Bedroom Two

Bedroom two! (For guests or future children...come visit while you can!!)

The office!

Inspiring! This room is probably in the worst condition of the entire house...the rock the sits under the window (there is an english word for this...but I don't remember) has cracked and water has seeped into the wall causing mildew and fun fungus. The rock will need to be replaced and the wall treated...

Window covering of small kitchen closet room

This has to go....

Small terrace-closet room off kitchen

This little space has one of the biggest windows in the entire house...that is shamelessly covered with a strange cement latice-like structure...big things will come out of this little area...Cafe con leche while feeling the first rays of the morning sun trickling into the little breakfast room? I think so!

Kitchen window

Add a bit of sea-air to that fresh fish dish!

Kitchen

Hmmm...we love the light, the sneak view of the sea while cutting onions and maybe even the colors of the counters/cupboards....but check out those tiles! The grime! The grit!!! Help!

Family/dining room (with a blue lightbulb?)

This picture is not taken from inside of a boat! The walls are dirty, the floor needs to be polished, the window is aching for some light, flowy, white curtains and there is NO cat hair ANYWHERE!

It's finally ours! Yesterday we signed and received the keys to our new abode! We are so excited! There is lots of work to be done, but each step will be taken with joy. We've had our eye on this one for many years, but thought we would never really be able to buy it. For those of you that don't know, its in our same building, 4 floors lower, 2 bedrooms bigger, and facing the sea!! Lots of light, lots of air and AMAZING views! I've created this blog to follow our progress as we slowly make this new apartment into our long-desired home. Here are some "before" pics from about 10 minutes ago...
