| Although it took a while to get our permanant apartment renovated and clean, we are now moved in and settling into our new home. Putting up pictures and buying a few houseplants has gone a long way towards making things warm and inviting, and nowadays we can't wait to get home out of the cold and curl up on the couch with a mug of coffee or tea.

| Right: Unfortunately, the bathroom is one room which really hasn't changed at all, except that the moldy wall was painted and we threw out those nasty bath rugs! |
| Above: The rug you see here has been taken away, and we are going to replace it after we return from the holidays. |
| All wallpaper was stripped and the walls painted white. |
| This has since been cleaned, though it's still stained. |
| The shower wall in the bathroom. |
| The old couch was small and not very comfy. |
| The kitchen cabinet - just one of many examples. |
