20 days and counting!
I just got an update from my mother who was able to get into the apartment today! Every surface that could be painted has been, new kitchen counter top (yeah, there is just one of em), the tub and sink of the bathroom have been refinished so they are sparkly white instead of dull almost white and the carpets will be yanked out and the terrazzo floors underneath will be refinished this week!
Turns out that I missed something when I saw the apartment - there is a
cupboard at the end of the tub, opposite the shower head - I do believe I
will be painting in there to freshen it up.

Mini Road Trip!
I have been following a antiques shop called Vintage Barn Market on my FaceBook page for a while now and I finally had the time and money to drive down and see it in person!
I have to say that I have a bit of experience with antique shops and this one is about as charming as you can find. If you like the shabby chic look, this is your place and you should make plans to visit the shop at 219 Main, Delta, Ohio 43515 ASAP! I wish I would have taken more photos, but you can see lots of them on their FaceBook page (link above). The owners, Marian and Rick, were delightful, genuine, helpful and so very sweet. I hope to get down to see them once more before I move.
I got a small table to use as my dining room table - it is 42 x 28 inches. I think the size will be great in my tiny 8 x 8 dining room. If it ends up being too small, I can use it as a desk.

32 more days
I have put the breaks on the shopping, which is why I haven't had much to post about. I have however sold more of my things. The TV and the radio are gone, I never really used them much anyways. With all my viewing and listening needs handled by my computer 99% of the time and living in a tiny apartment, there will wont be much need to these duplications in electronics.
My mother is coming to visit for a long weekend and we will be cleaning out and packing up more - it is my full intention to have as much as humanly possible packed up, even if that means that I will be living out of boxes until the 5th of August.
Happy 4th of July to you all, I hope you have a chance to spend some time with family and friends!
