I am starting this blog because I am going through some changes in my personal life and it just feels like a good moment to start something new. I also just need an outlet, I need to share things and write about things and just get it out of my system.
First things first, I am moving - hopefully by the end of the week. I already have a lease signed and now I am just waiting to get the call and find out when I am gonna get the keys. The new apartment is in the same town I have lived in for the last year, it's just a few streets away from my old apartment. I had thought about moving to a bigger city but in the end it just didn't feel right. I love the city but moving there on my own, in such an emotional time, just didn't feel quite right and I guess I do like the countryside, the smaller towns and you just get more space for the same rent. I'll have a fairly big apartment now, on two levels. It is a loft so I will lose some space because of the lower ceilings but I don't think I'll mind that too much. It also comes with the advantage that no one is living above me, trampling around all day long.
I will have a lot of renovating to do. There is a not so pretty wood ceiling in the top level and I want to paint that white, which is going to be a lot of work. I also want to put some wallpaper up and I need to paint a lot, also the kitchen needs some tlc. I hope I'll be able to start on Friday, Saturday at the latest. I'll have to move a lot of the larger furniture this coming weekend, just because I won't have the car to do it later on. Right now I am packing up my life in the old apartment. It is so much work and it's not so much fun to do. I could borrow a few boxes from work but it's still not enough. I have so many books and the boxes get too heavy too soon. I will probably have to do a few tours and re-use the boxes a few times.
I do plan on posting pictures and updates and maybe even some videos on here on the progress I am making and on how things are going.
