You’d think it would be easy to renovate in a very small apartment. I mean, it’s small, so small surfaces to paint, right? Well, it’s not. When you live in such a small apartment like we do, without any proper storage areas (except the bedframe, with six drawers and two gigantic compartments in the back) it’s difficult to keep track of all the stuff all the time. Each room is so small that if you just move one more thing in there it’s full. Well, not that bad, but close. And then we have to live there too. Try to cook, eat, sleep, shower, find stuff. It’s not that easy.
I think we are doing okay though. But for a neat-freak like me it’s tough to see all the stuff just piling up in corners where there is space. Hopefully after repainting the walls, installing some storage it will all be worth it. I calm my already tense nerves with “It’s just temporary”. I look at the mess, get stressed, and tell myself “it’s only temporary” and try to ignore it. Honey doesn’t even see the mess. He’s happy either way. I envy his bliss of not being able to see the mess.
But you know, it’s for a good cause, it is so we can have a nicer and hopefully a bit more spacious apartment, once the mess is gone. One room is done, the bedroom, and the hallway is painted. Now we’re working on one half of the living room, and then move over to the other half. I know it will all be worth it in the end, of course it will, right?
