Take a walk with us as we journey through the madness of wedding planning...
Almost 700 guests. Roughly $11,000. Deadline: October 2, 2010.
The above picture was taken on our first date when we saw a loving elderly couple take a stroll together
They moved step by step with each other's support, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding noise and chatter...
a look towards the far future for *us*

Our new Home!!!!

The bedroom furniture was delivered and here's what it looks like: (the first one is in the store, the 2nd one is in our new home)
Again, this is the electronic rendition of the layout of the apartment via the deliciousness of the Sweet Home 3d program:

This is what it looks like with all of Mr. Mercy's stuff moved in...
The issue is that with the desk and the bookcase on the right, it leaves a very intimate (aka tight) space for the dining room. And remember, that's not our actual dining room set (it may have to be though cause space is too tight!)

The thing I'm happiest about is the wardrobe turned into an entertainment center :D
Or does it look weird? I basically stacked all of Mr. Mercy's DVDs, CDs, Playstation games, Wii games, and board games into the cubby holes on the wardrobe. In the first bottom drawer I put the Wii accessories like controllers. On the top shelf I intend to put the Comcast box and whatever else. In the body, Mr. Mercy decided to put in plastic storage drawers. Good? Bad? Brilliant? Fail?

Last but not least, we wanted to paint our bathroom walls & add some kitchen shelving...
  • The paint we got for free from my brother & sister in law (thanks again!) which is this flesh colored light peach? the issue is that the landlord wants us to split the professional painting cost 50-50. I think we'll need to ask for a price estimate before we agree to such-- otherwise we'll have white walls in our bathroom (no biggie)
  • Kitchen shelving... there's already some shelving in the apartment, but we need at least one or two shelves more. I think we'll only be able to fit one very long one. I want it to match the existing shelves ( I think I can find it at IKEA) so that I don't need to remove it and take it with me when we move out).
Ideas? Suggestions? Comments?
