Five is the new four

They painted the halls of my apartment building about a month ago. I was hoping for spongepainted deep yellow walls with orange trim, but they just updated the original white walls with brown trim job. The trim looks like as if it's wet and congealed on the windowframes.

After painting, they replaced the floor numbers using the American style of numbering. Our building used to be numbered in the European way, where the first floor is the ground floor, and the second floor was the first floor. A month ago, I lived on the fourth floor. Now I live in on the fifth. The first time I walked up the stairs I was surprised how easy the climb had suddenly become. Then I looked at the apartment numbers and realized I had yet another floor to go. Posted by eku at June 29, 2005 9:28 AM
