In the previous post we told of our grand adventures to Friday Market to outfit our bare, bare home. Despite spending about four hours total in our apartment each day due to work, gym, and more work, we were excited to make this place comfortable and ours. Hey, even it is only four hours, let's make it a pleasing atmosphere during those four hours!
It is amazing how just adding a few pieces of decoration changed our apartment from bare to inviting. We no longer have to sit at our kitchen table at all hours of the day, whispering to one another so that the echo off of our walls did not disturb the neighbors. Instead, we can sit on our well-loved, mystery stained, still covered in the last tenant's cat-hair dusted couches which slope you slightly forward so that your calf muscles are in a constant state of working out, and smile at the littlest things that can change an "apartment" into a "home!"

| From the most empty room in the house to one of the most furnished. We have yet to find time to sit and relax but soon, soon. |
 |
| Our "end-tables" are some sort of Iraqi decorative piece. We liked 'um, so we bought 'um. The birds traveled with us from Thailand and are named Phuong and Tuan after two dear Vietnamese friends. |
 |
| Our elephant traveled from Cambodia and his name is Benjaporn after a good Thai friend. (Note how the throw so perfectly compliments Benjaporn!!) |
 |
| Can someone say "rug deal??" We scored on cheap, machine manufactured rugs. Don't tell Ali and Hussein! The table was here already. |
 |
| Even our drying rack has a lovely carpet to stand on ... for now. |
 |
| Our bedroom is getting pulled together, as well. We really enjoy our pillow collection so far. If we get lost while sleeping, we simply have to look at our pillow map to get back on course. |
 |
| And ... of course, the best decoration of all. Once a Husky, always a Husky! |
