My Apartment - cleaned

I know that Mom already posted pics of my apartment, however, to be fair, the place was a mess, so I have attached pics of my cleaned apartment.
My bed - please note the beautiful bed spread. Mom sewed this for me when she was in Winnipeg. THANKS MOM I LOVE IT!!
The Bed (folded), as you can see I have a plant in my window - real basil (delicious!) (again thanks to Mom). Since taking these pics, I bought another plant, a spider plant, just for Dad.
My Desk (and part of my table - a gift from Mom and Dad - the flaps can fold up). I've purchased a bulletin board which will find its home above my desk, I also have a printer sitting on the desk now, and the pictures have moved to my bookshelf (eventually I'll purchase a shelf for them).
My Watermelon red kitchen - I LOVE this colour, Mom did a FANTASTIC job painting (THANKS MOM!!), I finished painting the red trim on the cupboard doors of the island (sorry no pics).
And finally, my newly improved bathroom - isn't it pretty?!?

Well, now you've seen what the apartment always looks like (OK OK so maybe I cleaned up especially for the pics, but this is how clean I would like to keep it - too bad it intentions aren't enough!)

THANK YOU MOM!!! for making my place so comfy cozy - I love it!!

The Parental Apartment

Hey family of mine!

Since we're all inclined to post pictures of our respective apartments, I thought I'd respond to Wes' challenge to post pictures of our apartment here at Handong Global University. Actually, your Momma hasn't seen the new kitchen cabinets in their finished form - she left for Canada just when they were being installed - I needed to add the hanging units underneath the upper cabinets, as well as some finishing touches. I've also added some pictures of the rest of our cozy apartment - see Jude, the plants ARE all alive and thriving - I took these pictures today, January 24th! I've also added a picture of Carens, our faithful SUV Vehicle, standing ever-at-the-ready just at the rear of our apartment. Carens will soon get a bit of a workout as I head up to Seoul/Incheon next week, the Lord willing, to pick up your Momma!

Alright Nettie, now it's YOUR turn to respond to the challenge by posting the pictures of your palatial mansion in Polican - sooner than later sounds just about right!

I love you all!

Rebekah's New Pad

Park La Fontaine - across the street from Rebekah's apartment. Notice the cushions around the base of the tree. We figure it is to keep people from hurting themselves when they slide into the tree. There is a bit of a hill here and the frozen pond is at the bottom of the hill.

Looking through the window - in the center is a Catholic church - Notre Dame something or other (can't remember the whole name).

The one and only window in the apartment. Note the curtains - Rebekah had a great idea. It is a King size bed sheet that was cut in half and hemmed. Note the wicker basket which stores her bedding.

The table for two or four depending if you put up the side leaves. It was a great find. I like it.




The sofa bed with a cover. Again we used a fitted bed sheet to cover it. It has a velour covering and everything sticks to it.



This is the new sofa bed and book shelf.


The new improved kitchen. We painted and put stuff on the walls. Looks really cherry.


The original look in the kitchen before the organization and the paint job.





Welcome to 3655 Papineau. Rebekah is on the 11th floor. There are 12 floors. Her apartment faces onto the side street. We are standing in the park across the street, taking this picture.
