Look!


Not a big deal to anybody but me...but look!...this is the entrance to our apartment and until two days ago there was an ugly grey carpet glued to this beautiful old wooden floor. I am so happy about the way the wood looks that I keep on opening the door just to look at it.

Keep Calm and Carry On




We still have to get new lamps and furniture (still missing two beds, a couch and chairs). It normally takes me a while to find just the "right" piece which means we might have to live without a couch for months. However, the hallway is done...this is what you see before you step into our apartment. 
See the poster? I had it shipped from England. It is a reprint of a poster that was supposed to be displayed during WWII. The owners of Barters Books found the poster in a box of old books and displayed it in their store. Soon shoppers asked to buy it and they started selling copies. "Keep Calm and Carry On", perfect motto for us right now!
