After 6 weeks of up and down emotions and finagling with the bank, we finally got our condo but a week before we were leaving for China. Our plans of fixing it up and living in it during the summer didn't happen. We were able to paint but that was quite the ordeal as it was. We couldn't decide on a paint color. We ended up with about 12 different splotches of color before we decided on one.
Since it's on the third floor we have a great view from our balcony and master bedroom. We can actually see our friend Chris's house. It's the farthest one on the left. Time to get binoculars and start spying...hahaha. Chris is a great friend that we will enjoy living by when we are in Utah.
The red wall was already painted that way when we bought the condo, so we decided to just leave it for now. It goes well with our decor so it'll be fine.
This is how it ended up looking when we left. The furniture all stayed with the place since it was a BYU approved rental. Gavin's sister Marci and her son Riley moved in just before we left. She has already started redecorating the place by putting in new flooring, toilets, water heater, appliances, and removing the furniture. It's going to look entirely different when we get back there next summer. Marci plans to stay for a few years so she wants it fit her style which is totally fine with us.

Hello, Rundell family. =) Congratulation on having a cozy place and on winning over the bank! I love your dining area, by the way. The red color of the wall adds drama and warmth in the space. It doesn’t steal attention from the furniture, but it even emphasizes their forms, especially with the chandelier. Enjoy your stay there! Lakisha Zimmerer
Hello, Rundells. =) Your house is shaping up beautifully. Also, it's good that you didn't leave the house unorganized. Also, I think the color red is just preparing you for the most prevalent color that you would see in China. I bet the empty shelves in the kitchen will be filled with Chinese souvenirs upon your return. Hope everyone’s doing fine. ^_^

Wonderful! The view from your balcony just looks so majestic! It’s great that you had Chris around while you’re away. I mean, he can check on your home from time to time, just to make sure nothing's amiss. I'm curious how your China trip turned out. Did you make a blog for it? Sure hope you did! By the way, I think Han figurines will complement the red wall in your dining room. :) Hope you brought some from your trip.
