My Condo

[Lindsey]

Finally I have some pictures for you! Please excuse some of the mess, I still have things to put away and things to clean and things to get rid of :rolleyes:

The first pictures are "before" pictures, and I don't have many on my camera! Scott said he took "before" pictures of everything, but I don't have those right now. So here is the "before" fireplace and the "before"-ish bathroom... after Scott had ripped out the old vanity. To see what it looked like when the old owners had it, I posted some pictures on this thread: http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6528&page=2

And here are pictures from today!

Fireplace "after" :) P.S. the old owners left the fireplace tools :rolleyes: and it's an electric fireplace... they will be going to the cabin where they will actually be USED with the wood stove when it's installed!

Shelving... that stuff's not all going to stay on them, I just needed to throw SOMETHING on them!

Divider, some of the "red room"

Our papasans for reading!

[Lindsey]

The books to read in our papasans :D There's still a lot of tidying to do in here. Oh and I haven't replaced any of the plugs or light switches... that ugly thing on the wall is supposed to be the dimmer for the light.

Dining area

Kitchen... appliances are old, I want to replace them as soon as I can.. I will also be replacing the cupboards as soon as I can.

The hallway from the living room, you can see the laundry room at the end of the hall.

My favorite part... the bathroom! We did the most work in here.

The shower curtain hiding my deep-soaker tub!

I LOVE my new vanity, and the new taps I chose to go with it!

5466

I also love my new lights!

5467

I got a better picture with the lights turned off

Okay when I was in high school I did my whole bedroom in leopard print... so I have a lot of leopard print stuff! I decided to make my guest room a theme room :D

Guest room

Guest room... some stuff still to go up on the walls. The walls are also more green than they appear in the pictures!

Master bedroom.... VERY MESSY! Sorry about that, it seems to be the last thing to get cleaned! I bought this beautiful canvas Audrey Hepburn picture on my week off, and it's all I've put up in the room so far

5471

I decided to buy some cute sorting laundry hampers to make laundry day easier! And those are more pictures to be put up

Lindsay, your condo is absolutely adorable - just like you!!! I just love the red wall. I love the Marilyn Monroe pix, oh and Audrey too! It looks soooo cute - and so does Layla in one pic. I really like your bath vanity too - and the dark cabinets in there. You have done such a great job, getting everything looking so fabulous! I just love it!

[Gina]

I love , love , love it!!! and all your paintings too esp. Marilyn and Audrey.. layla looks so much like my Gucci..

[Marilyn]

You've done a great job of making it your own, Lindsey!!! Way to go!!! Like the Marilyn stuff, course, guess I'm a little partial. ;)

[Lindsey]

Thank you so much!!!! I'm really happy with how everything has turned out!
Technically, Layla's in TWO pictures.... in the kitchen picture, there's a calendar on the wall, and Layla is the picture for this month :D It's from the calendar contest she won last year.

[Blueyes]

Thanks for the guided tour Lindsey!! Everything looks wonderful! I love your fixtures, and your choices of paint color. You have done a fantastic job of pulling it all together!

[MaddieBoo]

Looks AMAZING! You did such an awesome job :) You must feel so much better now that it's all come together.

[Lindsey]

Thanks! It really feels like home to me :)

[DianaB]

Lindsey, everything looks so nice!!! I love the bathroom sink, so cool!! The artwork is really nice too!! Everything is just coming together so nicely!! I think that you made a really good choice on your apartment!!!

[Lindsey]

Thanks Diana :)

[Tiramisu]

I love it! Enjoy

[paula1961]

Lindsey, I enjoyed every picture!! Thanks for sharing. You are doing a fabulous job of decorating it. The fireplace and the Marilyn pic are awesome!

[judy]

I love everything!!! You have such nice stuff. I love contemporary! It is so spotless and neat too. You have done a wonderful job. It's so you and so perfect!

[Lindsey]

Thank you!!!
I hope it's also Scott, because we've decided that he's going to move in :) He spends all his time at my place anyway, and he said it feels more like home than his rented place, so he gave his notice so we'll be living together officially as of November 1st! He will be paying rent too and half of my bills, so it is going to make things a lot easier on me with mortgage payments :)

[judy]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

GOOD FOR BOTH OF YOU

:):):)

[Janet]

Now how in the world did I miss this thread????? Lindsey your condo looks wonderful and sooooo you!!!! I love all your paintings too. It looks so homey and comfortable too. I love it!

[Lindsey]

Thank you!

[Tiramisu]

I was really hoping you'd let me move in, but OK!

First comes love, then, then....... Good luck!

[gja1000]

I bet you are working on the condo this weekend - or at least thinking about what needs to be done for Scott to move it. I bet you two are very excited!

[Lindsey]

We're actually leaving town this weekend for a wedding, but I think he's going to start moving over some of his stuff soon! We'll need to decide what we have room for here, and what he'll have to store at his parents' house until we can afford a house of our own!

He still hasn't told his mom.... I don't think she's going to be happy about it, but he said she'll be fine.

[Shada]

Lindsey, I am so happy for you!

You have your new condo which is so nice. And a wonderful man to share it with!

So glad things are going so well for you.
Don't worry about Scott's Mom. You make her son happy, I am sure she is happy for the both of you. :)
