RENO...Complete

Freshly Painted walls, new flooring, and good quality furnishing makes this look like a whole new apartment. See below for the Pre-Reno Pictures.

APT RENO... in progress

These were pics that I took of Oskar's and my apartment in Downtown Toronto. With the help of Oskar's dad, a major handy man, we ripped out the carpeting, installed new hardwood flooring, ripped out and re-tiled the bathroom, and painted all walls and most ceilings. Its been very excited to see the process, and to have it happen so quickly. We spent abit over a week in total with all reno work, moving in, and installing new furniture accesories. I will post completed pictures of the apt soon. Oskar and I plan on renovating the kitchen next year when we return from Australia.... and then our apt will be complete... maybe.

Found a Home in Downtown T.O

Oskar and I have been informed that our offer was accepted on
a 1 bed, 1bath with solarium in downtown Toronto (between St. Lawrence
Market and the Distillery District) ! We are both very excited. The
closing date is July 16th. Before we move in we are gonna have
hardwood floors put in and possibly reno the bathroom.
Can't wait to start painting and decorating. These are the pics that the past owner had posted.

Day trip to Lisboa

Guincho Beach

Guincho beach is located just outside of Cascais. It is the most popular beach for Wind surfing, Kite surfing, and Surfing. It was pretty empty since we went on a Monday morning, but I did get to see some Kites in action. The 2 kite surfers Oskar recognized as 49er (boat) sailors. The winds were high and these guys were flying, I admired from the safety of the beach. I did get adventerous and dip my toe into the Atlantic, it was freezing.
