Revealing A Slight Remodel in Progress

It's funny. I share a lot on this blog, but surprisingly, I haven't shared pictures of our entire apartment. Which is a bit crazy since it's so small.

Well, now that it's March and the great purge is over. Here are a few pictures of our living room, before, during and after the great purge.

Here's the room pre-move in to the South, which should look the most familiar:

And here it is today:

The right side of our reading nook, where I finally hung our Ork Poster:

Huck hanging out to the left:

With an up close of one of my latest DIY- painting a $3.59 frame from Good Will black with a photo that I recently won at an auction, plus I just recently framed one of my Golden Gate Bridge pics:

Now a less familiar look at our living room looking North:

And here's a never before seen picture of this room last year.

Notice the brown, on brown, on brown. With the MESS of cables in the corner. URG.

I hated that mess for 1.5 years

As part of the Great Purge, Mr. Spice got rid of all those wires by changing our internet access. So here's Mr. Spice and Huck on Sunday in their usual positions, taking a much deserved break on our beat up condo couch:

Look at how much cleaner that corner looks. And did you notice that MONTHS ago I painted the coffee table. I would have blogged about it, but honestly, I didn't do that great of a job with it, so I couldn't really properly post how to do it.

Oh and looking to the right, I even started to de-browned the TV stand:

Swoon. Hugh Grant. My long term goal is to a paint this piece a high gloss gray- I've even bought the paint.

Moving on.. The never before seen 'office' bookcase with my amazing SF picture hanging above. Too bad it looks a bit small here:

You can finally see this book case since our old desk is now the Kitchen table. So the 'empty' space is currently a psydo bench (see the new shredder to the left):

And yes, we have a wall o'Huck in our house. Check out his book here.

So here's the big news- if we are lucky (aka we get a great tax return like we got last year), we are getting a new Sectional Couch!! Whoot whoot. I told you I had big plans for the 'empty' space in our living room!!

But more on that next time. I hope you enjoyed some never before seen pictures of our living room with updates from The Great Purge. Check back tomorrow for a tour of our kitchen.

Happy Hump Day.
