awww HOW CUTE!!
great job you too!
I am so sick of my all white walls right now (just moved in two weeks ago). I'm used to all the color in my old place. I am allowed to paint the walls, but I'd have to paint them back again when I move out. It's enticing, but I'm not sure I want to do that if I only stay in this place for one year. I like it a lot so far, but I haven't been here long enough to decide if I want to put in all that work.

Yeah, I know.. that's sort of disappointing. People that had seen the "before" in real life are shocked by the transformation. There was a lot of stuff like paint drippings all over the wall that we had to sand like crazy to get smooth walls and that didn't show up in the pics.
Oh well!
Anyway, Whalley huh? That is like notoriously the very worst area now. My friend's spouse is RCMP in Whalley and it's... disturbing.
I live in New Westminster, really close to the border of Burnaby and Coquitlam if that means anything to you!
I work in Vancouver, did you get on the sky train? I work at a building right at the Main Street/Science World stop (right across the street from Science World).

Hey Ashley,
I think we were lucky with the landlord not minding what we painted - probably because it was so icky when we moved in. Before that, all the walls were bright blue and purple (you can tell as there was only one coat of white over most of it) so I wonder if that was them painting it back to white?
It was a lot more work than I thought to paint anything, and I'd be pretty "blah" about painting it back again so if you don't know how long you'll be there, I'd definitely wait a bit.
Maybe some colourful paintings instead? 
Thanks!
Steph

Wow Stephie,
You guys have done a ton of work. I sure hope your landlord appreciates all the hard work. Painting is no fun.
It looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Better than most apartments around here. I always get an icky feeling about apartments, but I've been surprised a lot lately. I guess it all depends on who is living in them!
