    Great price for the painting, and man, that guy did some fast and nice painting! If you just want the orange color on the kitchen cabinets gone, there is adhesive foil to change the look. The cabinets can also be painted. Not sure if they have that in Albania, but there is special paint where you do not have to sand the doors off first, you just paint with it. It´s like a chalk paint that comes in different finishes too. I think a silver or gray would look good. It would go with the applicances and walls. Would blend in with the rest of gray, and makes the room look a little larger.

    I enjoy watching your move to and life in Albania! So happy to see you enthusiastically settling in and adapting! Love the work you've done to your condo so far. The grey looks great. You could mount the TV in your main bedroom on the large left wall as you walk into the room, next to the armoire. Yes, you would be looking 90 degrees to your right to watch the TV from your bed, but you're already looking 90 degrees to your left from your living room sofa to watch the TV in its current location. Same angle, just different direction. Just a thought, unless you preferred some artwork on that bedroom wall. Otherwise, offer to sell it at a discount and see if anyone you know there wants it if you really want the 50" TV. I live in Croatia as of Christmas this year and we have expat groups in Croatia where members post things for sale all the time.

      Hello ! and thank you. The t.v. is hooked on a wallmount i can pull out and turn it towards the couch. ( im in the captains chair directly in front of t.v. )..i could do the same for bedroom. Not sure yet. I have freinds that can use that t.v. if i do upgrade it. But that is way down the line. To much other stuff we want to do. Im happy for you that you are doing well in Croatia!

    Maybe put the tv in the bedroom on a bracket that has an arm that extends and you can push flat and pull out. They also make brackets for corners, so maybe by the window.

    What a nice surprise! I thought it would be a couple more months before we would see the condo update. I'll agree with your other commenters...the gray color looks great. Your new couch and chair look great as well. You get what you pay for...those will last a long time...money well spent. April's rolling cart with cutting board was designed thoughtfully and was perfect for the kitchen. It is possible to have a television that is too big for the room...I've done that before, so you may want to really think about it before you get a larger tv. I went back to look at the first condo tour. The new shower curtain is a vast improvement! I would not touch the tile...you need a nice echo when you sing certain songs (Day-O ...the Banana Boat song).
    Thanks for the update and give my regards to April. Take care.

    An Idea for your TV in the bedroom is to have it mounted on the ceiling on a hinge near the door. When you wish to watch something unlock it , let it swing down to use the TV. When not in use ... you can fold it up and out of the way ... The color of your new paint is inviting and comfortable. April did a great job in selecting the color... Please tell April congratulations and a voice from Texas and her past said Hello !
