Painting, painting, cleaning, choosing, buying, painting, sawing, screwing, PARTYING!

It is about time to prepare for party and start living in that place instead of only redesigning and reconstructing the whole thing! So here it is: houswarming party invitations are sent and so the deadline is set! Main things on the to-do list: finish the paint-job in kitchen, bathroom and toilet, mount the kitchen and prepare the (laminate-)floors in the livingroom and the yogaroom.

The yogaroom is our invention for a quiet space. The main ‘user’ of the yogaroom will be Angelika, but it will also be our oase for reading and watching movies and it will also act as our occasional guest room. Both the livingroom and the yogaroom are oriented at the frontside with sunshine in the morning and in the later afternoon.

It is amazing and wonderful to see the results of our designing talks! Combining vibrant colors in all rooms resulting in a great atmosphere. I love these talks, crazy- and absurd ideas spoken without hesitation and then slowly moving those ideas into real dicisions. I will publish some more photos over the next weeks, we have some more surprises under the hood!

After moving to Vienna in August 2007, I have been living at different places and I’m moving to my third home now. After living at the ‘outside’ of Vienna in 22nd, I moved ‘down-town’ to 15th district, but I never really got settled in that apartment. Back in early January, I got word that a very nice, sunny and spacey apartment would become available and after visiting the place I decided immediately to take this opportunity! Two big rooms in the front with morning- and evening sunshine, a kitchen in the back and the usual bathroom and separate toilet and a storage room. The apartment feels spacey with 3 meter high ceilings. This is a great step forward and I expect to be able to give many more nice updates about this place soon!

The apartment needs work: painting walls and ceiling, tiling (laminate) the floors and still to do: mounting the kitchen. But all that work adds to the experience of living in this new place! If all goes well, expect a house-warming party by June!
