The new apartment

So we are finally in.  We met with our landlord on Vendredi (Friday) and he had knocked on the previous tenants porte (door), with an officer, told him to grab some of his personal stuff and get out...apparently the guy was upset even after all of the notices.  So we met with him to get cles (keys) and regardez (look) at the appartement (apartment) and the he was still working on replacing the floor.  He had told us that some of the titles were cracked near the hot water heater and needed to be replaced...which  apparemment (apparently) meant the hallway and the cuisine (kitchen).  We told him that we had a truck and movers reserved for Tuesday and he promised he would be done...needless to say we showed up about noon and he wasn't done.  Sean stayed to put the lit (bed) together and I went to be with the dogs and start cleaning the other place as well as grabbing salle de bain (bathroom) and cuisine (kitchen) stuff.  Finally about 5 he was done and Sean was done and we were able to bring the chiens (dogs) to the new place.  They had to get used to a new place again...but they are doing good...and I got to sleep in a real lit (bed)!

So after a couple of semains (weeks) we have everything set up.  Here are the pics...

So just outside the door is the front door..but we don't use it cause the car is parked in back...and the washer and dryer will eventually go were the frame and bin are once we get them

 

 

this is looking down the rest of where the washer and dryer will be into the bathroom

and this the smallest bathroom in the world...at least this one has front above the medicine cabinet lighting...but not a single outlet

This is what you would see when you walk in the front door...living room and bedroom on the right, kitchen and guest room on the left

closer look at the end of the hall

This is the salon (living room) and our new couch, which didn't look this big in the store..but it will work for us.  I am working on a little art project for above it and it would be done but the saw at home depot was broken so I will post that later

the credenza is one of the things we have inherited and eventually it will be painted and probably have new handles put on it...and you can see the color of the couch a bit better

this is our most recent project.  I wanted some shelves to put pictures on and Sean had seen these old crates outside an antique store...so we got three of them and mounted them to the wall for pictures and I love the way they look

Kitchen...straight ahead is the back door which we use all the time

one side of the kitchen...the white cabinet is another piece we inherited and it has been a life saver as far as space needed...so we put pots, pans, crock pot, big mixing bowl, and stock pot in there for display and it works...the little table was an inheritance too and the chairs were something someone was throwing away

other side and that is all the cabinet space we have...we took the doors off of the middle cabinet, one because we love our colorful dishes and two because the dinner plates are too deep for the door to close properly

this is the little table and the extension for it..which we will use tomorrow when Sean's dad and brother come over for dinner...and the frames will be another little project I am working on

this was supposed to be the guest room...but surprise it wasn't as big as we were told...so it is an office and we had to give away the sofa bed because it wouldn't fit

these are the chairs that were in Sean's grand pere's (grandpa) office and they fit perfectly and they are happy to be out of storage

our bed which we were hoping would be too big for Luna to jump on...but its not

this is the look back toward the front door and the corner shelves that we also inherited..which fit perfectly

So that is the tour of our new appartement (apartment)...we are finding it rather homey now that we are done moving boxes around and we really don't have that much in our little storage unit, only some christmas ornaments and a couple of other pictures...

Hope you enjoyed your tour!
