It's Funny Because It's True

Here is a link to an essay written by an American living in France about the wonders of French appliances.

If you read it, you'll understand my domestic frustrations. Ha!

Painting Our Bedroom

BEFORE - This is our bedroom before we decided to paint it. It's brighter than it looks, but not as colorful as our neon green guest room! Paint is a little pricey here but we wanted to make our room feel like our own since we're going to be here for a while.

AFTER - Max picked out this color and we both thought it was a lot more calming and soothing then the bright yellow/orange. We just can't wait to put our furniture in there. Our bed is in the living room right now serving dual purpose as a couch.

Our New Apartment

So, here we are at our apartment in Chambery, France! It's still hard to believe we live here and can look out our balcony and see this view.

                                                                        




  We didn't know the mountains were that close when we chose this place back in January. It wasn't until we came back in February and were dropping something off at the apartment that the haze lifted long enough for us to see everything.
