V-77 II

Riga and I agreed with each other. It wasn’t nearly the project getting this flat in order. I appreciated the move- in condition of Valdemāra 77 and so did my busy 18 month old! This is a photo of our building taken by my friend Denise a few months ago. Our flat is the first three sets of windows on the left above the sign. The outside obviously isn’t anything remarkable, nor did the inside have any unusual architectural features (unless you can count 12’ ceilings), but like I wrote, it was remodeled for the upright-walking man which made it attractive enough! The top of the very tall walls were screaming DO SOMETHING with me in our living room, so I did borrow a ladder and stretch to cap the tops with a long, three-part stencil in jewel tones. It was very pretty way up there and made the room a bit less cavernous. I made some curtains, and kept rearranging our furniture, but other than that, nothing needed to be done.

With the inside shovel-ready for living, that meant I could get outside. Like I said, Riga and I agreed with each other.
