my apartment complex is getting a much needed paint job. by saying "complex," i exaggerate. it's two little two-story buildings that contain 28 efficiency apartments. it's cute and perfect in it's tinyness, but i wouldn't call it a complex. anyway, ever since i moved in here about 3 and a half years ago, the buildings have needed paint, and badly. it's not the nicest of places, but for efficiencies, these are kind of cute. 2 big windows, a balcony, vaulted ceilings on the top floor. we even have a pool. but on the outside, the place has been a little shabby. i never minded, but it's pretty noticeable. and it was always something the tenants and i could bitch about when our manager was bugging us. "yeah, she can't bitch at us, if she wants the place to look nicer maybe she should paint it!" or something like that. well now, we can't say that anymore. (there are plenty of other things to bitch about, so the tenants are still gonna be fine, though.)
pretty soon, the paint job that has taken far too long will be completed and we'll have fresh, bright white walls and a blue-ish green trim. i would never have chosen these colors personally, but they work. they're bright and kind of tropical looking and it's new. just looking at the one side that they have completed makes me feel revived. yay! new paint job! and it only took 3 and a half years.
