We always knew he was a smart cat...

Turns out that kitty painting higher up on the shelf was prophetic.

The Little Red Devil

Here is the little guy we've welcomed into our home (to shred it up and play with every piece of it). Introducing Mars, aka the Little Red Devil!

Our new furbaby, Mars

Bienvenue chez Nicolas et Emilienne

81 landlords contacted, 2 ½ apartment visits, and 1 offer led me to my new home on the first of the month. It took another three weeks of bumbling around a half empty apartment while scouring used furniture sites, negotiating with local delivery men and the world's worst set of movers, and waiting for packages to arrive from every corner of the globe before we were officially chez nous.

At long last, the apartment is ready and waiting for its first set of official house guests: my parents! As we wait for their train to bring them to town, I figured I'd show off with a few before and after shots.

Ta da! Our nearly finished masterpiece that we call home. 

And it's no Eiffel Tower, but the view's not half bad, to boot.

Let's pretend that summer made it to Denmark...
