Happy Hump Day, Everyone!!

I've been meaning to post this as we've been working on it since around the start of the month.

picking color

we have been in a studio apartment for a couple of years and its really boring seeing the same thing over and over again.

So, the hubby and I took it upon ourselves to improve our home.

tile design

It's a start but its better then most and I will be posting updates as we go along.

First thing we tackled was the bathroom.

It's small but it could of been better with a bath and shower combo instead of a shower that you have to walk up steps into. The toilet, I don't know why they did this when they made the apartment, but its in the corner. The floors are cement with a sealant top but it doesn't last if exposed to too much wetness. Finally the walls were white top with like a pea soup color base. And you can tell that the previous owners were smokers for the white was dingy with smoke stains.

added detail

We went out and found new tiles for the floor. A lovely crisscross design in brown. Then, we decided on a blue shade for the walls besides redoing the white, and we went for a color called "hourglass" which is like a like sky blue color. The tiles once in had brought out that blue and I love it.

Next, we decided to get like frost window covering for our windows. They face the front of the building and has a lot of sun exposure, especially the afternoon sun. I have come across this nice window design from Wish and put in an order, just to see what its like. It, finally arrived and we took a whole morning installing before having to go to work and it looks wonderful.

Our next project will be the walls and then the kitchen area as well as seeing about a way to divide the room so it would look like they are separate spaces.
