Persephone’s Apartment Makeover

Hey everyone! Hailey and Elwin here with another fabulous makeover!

H: Our good friend Persephone invited us over for dinner the other night and we were thrilled to visit her brand new place. When we arrived, though, we were…a little surprised.

E: Right you are, Hailey! We didn’t expect Persephone’s place to be so…so…well, take a look for yourself:

H: Er…yeah. It’s a little cluttered.

E: Anyway, Hailey and I decided to tactfully offer our help.

H: I’m not sure how tactful you were, Elwin. You basically said, “Your apartment is a mess, Persephone. But don’t worry. We can fix it. Maybe.”

E: Hey, she agreed to let us help her. That’s all that matters.

H: Anyway, the basic apartment was good. The layout was fine, but there was SO much stuff everywhere. So our first order of business was cleaning the place up.

E: We gave lots to charity and put some stuff (like her first sewing machine) into storage. Whatever had sentimental value, we hung onto.

H: Right! And then we dealt with the flooring.

E: Oh, the flooring. It wasn’t my favorite.

H: And the carpets.

E: Yes, not a fan of those either. Especially the red one. Oh, and the kitchen floor. Just awful.

H: Anyway, we decided to lay down a new floor. We chose something bright to make the place look bigger. Check it out:

H: Persephone was really pleased with the result – and I guess she still likes Elwin and I, because we’ve been invited back for dinner tomorrow night!
