What is the less cheesy way of saying a "New Chapter"?


I think it might be too late in the evening to think up a better analogy. I will come up with one later, probably when the computer is already turned off. I always do that. I figure out something really clever to say once the moment has already passed. I call it retrowit. Anyways...cheesy new chapter...that is the title, my friend, so we shall talk about this new chapter. It involves one trailer, 15 boxes, 6 cans of fresh paint, three interviews, 5 new keys, and a new mattress.

The move.

It has gone well. It is exciting. I miss my friends, but I love my boyfriend. It feels so natural, living together. Like a dance we are supposed to do.And...get this ladies...he said I get my way in decorating. Well, he vetoed dark brown in the kitchen, but I will take that as a smart suggestion. But still, I get to make this house my masterpiece. It has become my job...I love it.


Here is my progress:
Living Room = 30%
Kitchen = 50%
Master Bedroom = 15%
Second Bedroom = 5 %
Office = 5%
Upstairs Bathroom = 90%

Not too bad. Well, not a great report card, but it is only ...week 3. Holy crap its week 3! We have lived together for 2 whole weeks AND no blood shed. Round of applause, please. Oh yeah, that's right I was just saying a dance that we were supposed to do. : )


Here's the progress in the upstairs bathroom

FROM THIS





See my "picking a paint color" technique. Yeah. I didn't pick any of those colors.





Another boring shot of the old bathroom.










TO THIS...



Kyle picked this soap dispenser and I was inspired. I bought the shower curtain and hangers the same day. At first, I was going to paint it a rust color, Kyle said he hated it. So last minute I went for this goldish yellow. Add a painting by yours truly, a few birds, and some old box shelves I bought in college and BAM...not too bad of a masterpiece upstairs bathroom.

Wait...Kyle does put in his opinion. Hmmmm...eh...I will keep him anyway.
