Projects around the apartment: Painting walls

We are going with a yellow theme, to complement the dark gray walls. Our yellow table is not here yet, but we got yellow paint and decided to do vertical stripes on the main wall when you enter the apartment, and then a dripping background for a funky face artwork we got from New Orleans. See the progress below.

A lot of hard work went into this, including items from Home Depot:


We put up a bunch of tape on the wall, keeping it straights, and doing all the corners was a pain in the butt:





Look at Sameen's agility:


Finally, the walls are done and the artwork is up:

Some cool people in our apartment

We have names for a few people we would like you to meet:

James, the bookend:

Pete and Petite, the keyholders:

Tintin on our wall :)

Wanted to share something fun. We were in Montreal, in a cute little art shop, and the lady had these nice little Tintin prints, on wood blocks. Different sizes, big square ones with action scenes and small rectangular ones with comic covers, in French. We got a few and arranged them underneath our cool bookshelf :)
