Early morning

Over the weekend the husband and I decided to wake up super early and watch the lunar eclipse. At 5:45 AM I opened up the bedroom blinds and could see the moon nice and clear from the bed! It took us about 5 minutes to decide to drive on up to the highest point in our neighborhood to check it out and my goodness the view was breath taking. We stood up there for almost an hour (the poor dog gave up 40 mins in and demanded to be held it was that cold!), if you've never gotten up early to look up in the sky its a very surreal moment, especially if you live in a big city.  And always being the ones to go against the crowd, while everyone was oohing and awing over the moon, we were fixed in the other direction watching the sun rise. Pretty, don't you think?

Sf apartment, color update

I officially got the keys, all 7 of them!  Drove for the first time by myself to the city, figured I better get nice and used to it, to finish up all the loose ends of our new place and I was able to put a few things away.  This weekend is the big move, and I am beyond thrilled there is an elevator!  Do you know who hard it is to move a giant bed and sleeper sofa up a flight of stairs?  Did it once, hopefully never will again.  Anyway, I finally got to have alone time in our new space and discovered my new view from the kitchen, the Sutro Tower!  Now every time I am at the stove, this is what I get to see....

 The living room/dining area leading into the kitchen.  The walls are definitely more yellow then the color swatch online suggests.  Love the color!  Color, coconut milk, Devoe paint.

 The bathroom color contrast against a stark white trim.  What color do you think I should go with to contrast?  Color, shadow play; Devoe paint.

The bedroom color.  With the sun on a warm day it looks almost mauve, but on a grey day, like most out here, its a little darker.  Color, tumbleweed trail from Devoe paint.

 And I was even greeted with a brand new compost bin for the kitchen (the complex takes out the compost twice a week!) and two mugs with treats.  Its nice to have nice landlords.
