Until you add some personal touches. We've been in our apartment for about a month and a half now. We have put most of the things away and hung up almost all of the clothes, however we still had a pile of stuff on the dining room table...and under it and surrounding it. So today I moved the boxes into the bedroom, and unwrapped the pictures that we had hanging in Pasadena. Then I carefully went around the apartment and decided where each picture/painting should go. The Quimper went in the kitchen, the Chagal in the dining area, Jeckyll and Hyde in the bathroom, etc. Just this simple act of placing things where they belong (I didn't hang all of them yet) really made a difference. When Eric walked in after work and frustrating traffic he was going to say something else, but he walked in and said "ooh! How nice!"
So it's the little things that make a difference and while we are rapidly approaching our 1 year in California Anniversary, it's good to think that we're finally settling in.
