Moving is fun?

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have piles of boxes that are making it difficult to walk around my apartment and yet nothing seems packed, there is still stuff everywhere. This is my first move in three years which is pretty impressive considering that I moved over 15 times in college. I definitely prefer staying in one place and I hope that this move will be long-term. I am really happy with the place that Philip picked out, it has almost everything on our wishlist for an apartment and then some. There is lots of project space for me and he will still have his studio. The only thing that we don't like about the apartment is the bathroom.

We had planned on decorating the bathroom around the shower curtain that we were going to make out of some billboard vinyl we have. We were going to paint the walls red and do some spray paint stenciling and graffiti to give it an underground feel. Unfortunately, this won't quite work in our new bathroom with it's pink countertop, vanity lights, gold fixtures, and public restroom soap dispenser. We haven't decided how we are going to decorate, but whatever we do has to accentuate the 80's decor.

argggg! I'm so picky about bathrooms. But I'm sure your'll make the best of it! Your idea sounds super fab already.

Ever been to "House of Blues"? It's a night club here in L.A. Their bathrooms had the same feel...though they used diamond plate as counter tops and beer bottle caps (mosaic-like) on the ceiling---looked awsome!

i think you can still do the graffiti, add some glam 80's decorations, and go for a "80's roller rink bathroom" look. if you are good with graphic arts, maybe even make up some faux flyers for "upcoming events" like "a totally awesome to the max new year's eve skating party!!!" to hang on the walls. if you really want to go for it, maybe find an old condom machine for the walls!! that would be rad.

because you seem to cook such yummy vegan food, i tagged you for a meme. i'm not sure i did it right though.

I'm sure you'll make your house all homey - no matter what this bathroom looks like now.
