July Update...

I can't believe it's the end of July already!!  We've been so busy!  The apartment is really taking shape, it will be nice to check that little project off our list of many!

We got the bathroom painted,

And have, since these pictures were taken, had the trim work put up. 

Afternoon Tea

I was invited to go to afternoon tea yesterday and was asked, along with my friend Sylvia to decorate a table.  Since both Stu and I lived in Japan we both had some tea related items so we decided to go with a Japanese theme for the table.  That being said we needed bamboo...  Jerry and Sylvia have a bamboo forest growing around their house and Jerry was nice enough to cut us a few.  I thought this was the funniest thing, the truck looked like a peacock with it's tail dragging...too funny!

So here is our table, we went on Thursday afternoon to set up most of it.

But, if you can believe it, (and I'm sure you can) I forgot my camera!  But some of the other ladies did bring theirs, so I'll have to do Afternoon Tea Part 2 as soon as I get the pictures.

On the the progress with the apartment...

The floor is down,

Most of the upper trim is up,

and the bathroom door is on.

We still have quite a bit to do, but we are on the home stretch now!  It's going to be great!
