Re: Cleaning & Organising thread

Haha, so I actually painted the entire place before I moved anything but the kitchen in. I hired a painter because it was an easy job that he did in 3 days, as opposed to me struggling to do it. Super easy.

UGH! So I'm short too and I can't reach the cabinets above my fridge. So I'm storing stuff I need ,but not a daily/weekly basis, like Bundt cake pans, angel food cake pans, stuff like that. I miss my parents' kitchen where they have more things low than high. (they have more low cabinets due to the layout)

Hiring a painter is the best. I have learned that lesson the hard way. My friend and I painted her entire house inside and out a few years ago. Never again!

Ah yes. The above fridge cupboard. The stupidest of all cupboards. I can't even see what's up there. I assume it's full of junk. I found a cake decorating kit in my wardrobe (why!?) with a bag of old christmas presents I will never use. I think that's one for the hard to reach kitchen spots.

At least my fridge is a reasonable height. My parents is taller so they store the most useless of things in that cabinet - a meat slicer and an ice bucket for parties.

I was originally going to paint with a friend, she bailed on the first day we were going to pick out colors, no big deal, called the painter and within a week the whole place was done. OMG it took FOREVER to pick out colors! That and of course the person before me LOVED accent walls. I'm in basically an apartment. It's small. Perfect for me BUT WHY DO YOU NEED ACCENT WALLS IN EVERY SINGLE ROOM? So of course when he was putting sample colors on the walls, it looked different depending on which wall he put it on and it took 3 tries to get the right shade of green sample.

What is nice about moving out so close is that I've moved from one bedroom in a house, to an entire place so I've been able to spread out and slowly figure out what I want.

Of course that means I also have made random subsitutes if I haven't found the "perfect" item yet, so I have a card table and folding chairs in the dining area and have a teeny tiny TV in the bedroom, but everything is functional.

I don't even know where I'm going to store all of my Christmas ornaments yet!!!

(sorry I'm still super in the process of moving/settling in and could go on about it forever)

Ugh. The last rental I lived in had a snot green, oh sorry, chartreuse accent wall in the bedroom and ugly blue and dark red in the other rooms. The landlord said the owner wanted them that way when they moved back in so I just lived with it.

I still have a lot of "temporary" furniture solutions. I am used to my slightly broken lamp and the ugly box I covered with scarves that my tv sits on. I don't have a dining table or chairs. Hopefully the kitchen bench will be extended to become a dining table at some point. Idk when.

Don't apologise! I like talking about house stuff because it keeps me motivated and thinking about what I still have to do.

Again, accent walls can work. But my ceilings are standard height and the rooms are all fairly small. The bedrooms are square and in the living room/kitchen/dining room, she had FOUR colors on the walls. I just wanted one bright one (she painted the darkest one in the corner of the room with no natural light).

I'm just glad I was able to paint all of the rooms. When I was in college, we had gray walls we couldn't touch and so I covered my walls in posters.

There is so much I still need to do, and instead, I'll just come home and watch TV or read a book.
