Apt. Is Becoming Home Sweet Home

Hello my friends!

Well it is Valentine's and President's Weekend

And I hope you are all doing fine.

 My day so far has been relaxing and very quiet.

It is nice weather in my little spot of earth, so

that makes the day very nice considering it is February and

there is still a lot of winter weather to come.

I am slowly making my little Apartment

Home Sweet Home.

One of the things I have wanted has finally

arrived. . . A Brand New

Sofa!

I am so happy and pleased.  

It really makes my living room more cozy and beautiful.

Before I moved I gave my sofa to my friend Trish.

I didn't think my living room would be big enough to 

have a sofa (couch) in it along with other furniture.

I thought chairs could replace a sofa.  Well, I didn't

like it at all.  And my living room is large enough to 

have a sofa along with other furniture.

I especially worried about my round

coffee table, not having room for it.

But no worries. . . sofa and round coffee table

go very well together.  (Little Teddy is showing off) 

 I am actually contemplating

painting or dark staining  my coffee table.

(What do you think?)

Oh, I am feeling Home!

I can't believe how much room I have.

Most of all I feel happy in my

Area 157.

Something I was so upset about doing has actually

become such a blessing to me.

It always amazes me how somethings 

like moving, making a change you are fearful of,

can turn to be a good thing.

I will be showing more of my Area 157 as I get

more decorating done in the other rooms.

My bedroom is about ready to show.

I can't find my Quilt that goes on the top, 

nor can I find the bedskirt.  It is somewhere in

one of the many boxes.  

And I am still working on the kitchen.

I was so excited to show you my new sofa.

Enjoy your weekend!

I will.....

Area 157 0r Known As Apt. 157

Hello

Well, I made it through January!

It seems it is the longest month.

I am glad when February arrives.

The last few months have been hard months 

for me and my family.

So many changes.

Change is hard for me.

I changed where I live.

I moved!

Same town, still close to my children.

But none the less it is change.

Moving is a nightmare!

I now live at Apt. 157

or I call it Area 157.

 My place isn't as small as I thought it would be.  

This is a picture of one corner of my living room.

There are things I don't really care for. . . but I can live with it.

You will notice my mauve chairs are back again.

I didn't think I could fit my couch in the living room,

so I thought I would just have a grouping of chairs....well,

the living room is much bigger than I expected.

And I miss a couch. . . so,

the chair grouping is only temporary. . . I have a couch

ordered.  It will be here in a couple of weeks.

The little Pups have had to adjust to the move.

Bless their little hearts, they are sure a comfort to me.

We are still making adjustments.

So there ya go. . .a very small tour of 

Area 157.

I will show more as I get rooms decorated.

It takes time.  I think I want something a certain way

and I get it all put together....and I don't like it.

So then I am redecorating.

I am very thankful to have this nice apartment.

Housing is expensive, very expensive 

here in Utah.  And there is a shortage

of affordable low income housing.

I have been blessed to find this one.

Angels were helping me.

Thanks for stopping by.
