Third in a very occasional series of looks at the furniture in our apartment.

While I had not originally intended to post the living room pictures so soon after the bathroom photos, I decided what the heck, while I had the photos ready. 😉 So, today we’ll talk about the living room.

I think the biggest thing you’ll see still missing from the living room is any kind of attempt to decorate. Our landlord has very kindly offered to hang stuff up on the walls for us, and we certainly have stuff that can be hung up. However, we need to organize ourselves and our artworks and photos and figure out what would go where. That is the bottleneck at this point. As some of you might recall from when we lived in Vancouver, we lived there for over a year before we got around to organizing what photos we wanted to hang on the wall in the living room. We just like to take our time with these decisions, and figure the most aesthetically pleasing arrangement before we hang anything on the wall.

Well, that’s one way to look at it. Of course, I believe I can hear the murmurings starting that perhaps we’re just a bit unorganized and that’s why we haven’t managed to get our act together yet about this. Which story is true? Well, I’ll think I’ll need to avoid answering that on the grounds I may incriminate myself. 😉

But I believe I may have digressed…

Anyway, in the photos of the living room what you’ll see are the fruits of our expeditions to the local furniture stores. The sofa we ordered early on, and it took almost 2 months to come. Until that time, the only thing we had in the living room was that red chair and, of course, all the boxes that were spotlighted in a previous blog post. The TV table, the foot stools, and most of the tables were all ordered in the last expedition, which also yielded our kitchen table and chairs … a subject for a future post.

I’ve also included a photo that shows you the up and down state of these cool little blinds that our landlord ordered and installed for us. We could have figured out our own window treatments – they didn’t come with the place.  But, like most interior decorating things, we’re not really expert when it comes to window treatments.

Now I know that many of the readers of this blog actually do like to do interior decorating.  So, come on over and visit us before we decorate the place. Just think, an entire apartment of possibilities awaits you!  You could spend your  entire vacation working on decorating our apartment! Sound like fun? Sure it does!

And, what’s more, we’ll even let you do everything yourself. We’d hate to get in your way.

I mean, how lucky can you get? 😉

BTW, How Lucky Can You Get  is actually the name of a song that comes from the movie musical Funny Lady, which was never a Broadway show (only a movie).

Wow, today you have a single post that has it all: furniture photos, an offer to come have free reign to decorate an apartment in Germany, and an (almost) Broadway show tune.

Truly, how lucky … well, you get the idea.  Hope you at least enjoy the photos below.  😉
