Re-do #1

I think everyone's heard our story of the crazy paint job at our apartment. Well, we couldn't take it any longer. Splotchy sky blue walls just weren't cutting it in the bedroom. Especially since all our stuff is dark brown and burgundy. So we finally painted this weekend and we're finished with the redecorating of our room. Here's the finished project.




We picked up the statues in the corners from Thailand. Their name is Bert. Bert is supposed ensure a happy marriage and bring romance and tranquility to the home. So far, so good!



This is another piece we picked up in Thailand. We found it at a night market in Bangkok and just couldn't pass it up. It goes much better with beige than blue!




We're lucky that our bedding just happened to match it all. We wanted to stick with the asian theme and it seems to work!


One room down, a couple more to go. We're actually pretty close to having the whole place finished so it can feel more cozy. I don't think most people spend so much time decorating an apartment, but to us we feel more at home if it reflects us and our personalities. Feel free to come visit to see it for yourself!

Back to reality

I had a few pictures from our first week back in Boston, but we're having technical difficulties and only one of them would download. I'll have the post the rest later.


But below is how we made it through the acclimization back to the real world.





We also hit the beach and redecorated the apartment with some fun stuff from Thailand. After relaxing as much as we did on vacation, we're trying to bring a little more zen to our place. We have candles everywhere and a few other fun knick knacks. I think it just might do the trick.

The Honeymoon

We're back from the honeymoon and it was amazing to say the least. I think we could have stayed much longer. But we had to come back to reality at some point. We took so many pictures it was impossible to post all of them. But here's a taste of what we saw in Thailand. I'm sure I'll be posting more as we get them.



Traffic in Bangkok. And this was it's slow time!


On our way to another island for snorkeling.


The water that we snorkeled in. I've never seen water so clear!


One of the beaches from snorkeling/kayaking.


One of the 2 waterfalls on the island. We tried to climb up to the top of it. Let's just say it didn't happen.


Scott and I got a private tour of the island. Here's one of the views we saw.


A lagoon we kayaked in. It was absolutely beautiful!


Some of the amazing food we ate. And this was pretty much every day. My mouth waters just looking at it!


This is the highest temple in Bangkok. I had to wear a wrap since I wasn't dressed "appropriately". The stairs were the steepest we've ever seen!


Hotel pool. We definitely spent a lot of time here.


Our first night we were the only ones at the restaurant at the hotel. Not a bad time for a private candlelit dinner.


The beach at the hotel. We were the only resort to have a private beach.


The hotel lobby. We took some new decorating ideas home after seeing it.


Another temple we saw.


Everything we saw was absolutely amazing. Scott and I would love to be able to go back one day, but even if we don't, we have some great memeories!!
