Our Apartment: After

This is our apartment now! After two weeks of non stop work on it everyday it was finally finished and we moved all our stuff in. It was a lot of work but it was fun and it makes it feel like home. Here it is....
This is the new soap dish :)

We put in new towels racks, toilet paper holder and shower curtain.

New mirror.

Painted both bedrooms that had patches all over.


Painted the front room brown.

This is where the water damage was



Our cute pantry!!

New blinds

Hunter's duck....

Something else about the apartment... not only was it newly remodeled... but it also said it had air conditioning. When we asked her if it did she said yes. Then once it started getting really warm we couldn't figure out how to work it so we asked our neighbors. It turns out it doesn't have air conditiong. We weren't too happy about that, but now we have this to keep our place cool :)

Our Apartment: Before

I haven't written a blog post in almost a month, so I decided that I need to do better at writing a blog posts and I have made a goal of posting once a week. Hopefully I will do it more than that though. This post is about our apartment. When we first found this apartment we loved it!! But we noticed that there were a lot of things wrong with it, even though KSL said it was "Newly Remodeled". So when we met with manager we told her all the things wrong with it and she didn't seem to care and wanted us to move in the next week. On top of that she said that we had to pay first and last months rent when at first she told us only the deposit. Then Hunter had another meeting with her and she wasn't even there so the one who actually owns that apartment came out and had Hunter come in. He was so nice! He told us we didn't need to pay first and last months rent until those months came, he said we didn't have to move in until April 1, and agreed to pay Hunter to fix up the place :) So we spent everyday for two weeks at our apartment painting, cleaning, fixing things, putting new things in and moving in :) This is what the apartment looked like before...

This is the nasty soap dish. One of the many things we brought up to her and she told us that we could buy spray paint to make it look better instead of getting a new one. Sick.

Most of the light switch covers were missing.



This was the kitchen floor.


This light switch was taped on.

The broken mirror.

Water damage.. you could run your finger down the wall and paint would just come off!

Cleaning!

All the blinds were broken.

The process of remodeling.

This was our apartment before we made all the fixes.. it was a lot of hard work! But we really enjoyed it!! We spent over forty hours working on making it our home. Thank you to everyone who helped us fix this place up.. the person we should thank the most is my dad. He just knows how to fix everything and he was over there everyday helping us! The next blog post will be our apartment how it is now :)
