Apartment Renovation Pics!

So... here are a few pictures of the progress we've made in my new apartment... especially for my curious Mother...  :)

Here's the lovely kitchen that we found on Ebay... as most of you know, in Germany apartments are usually rented without a kitchen.  Meaning you have to purchase, construct, and install it yourself.  We found one for a pretty good deal, including all appliances (fridge, dishwasher, oven).  About a week ago, Opi constructed it, and here's the end result:

And here's a picture from the other side.  Please excuse the mess.

Here you can see Opi working on the laminate in the living room... it's a really gorgeous "white oak."  :)

And he finished it!  Also notice the lavender walls - I mixed the colour (white and purple), and painted it (mostly) myself. :)

And last but not least, here's a picture of the bedroom after we put wall-paper up.  That whole process was totally fascinating - I never knew how that was done... but let me tell you, that was some fun, sticky stuff.

That's all for now!  We're going to work on the apartment this weekend some more, so more pictures will be coming up soon!
