Sweet mother of pearl, we are HOME!  I cannot even tell you how good it feels to be back at our little apartment.  The time we’ve spent apart has definitely been eye opening.  We realize now how lucky we are to have this square footage to call our own.  Thanks to the gorgeous new floors I picked out and a little re-arranging of furniture by the moving company, I have a newfound love and enthusiasm for our place. It’s so easy to get stuck in a comfortable rut when it comes to the home.  Not only does completely useless JUNK pile up in every single crevasse, cupboard, and drawer, but we hadn’t done much in the way of decorating in years.  There are walls that needed to be repainted, small renovations that needed to be done, and furniture that needed replacing that we’ve neglected for years.    We’re now in FULL redecorating mode and are in the middle of a total spring clean and purging of the things.  It’s a big undertaking, but I’m kind of glad we were forced out of our decorating fog.  Another positive way of looking at this whole experience, I suppose.

While we’re on the topic of my home, I’m sure you noticed my cute ‘I live Mount Pleasant’ shirt in these pics.  If you live in this delightful hood, you can get your own BC Living Mount Pleasant tee here, or there’s plenty of other neighbourhoods to choose from!  And if you hadn’t seen it yet, here’s the BC Living article about all my favourite spots around here.

P.S. Semi-confusing that we took these photos in such an iconic Gastown setting.  In all fairness, Gastown is where my studio/office is, so it’s really my second home lol
