Apartment facelift

Those of you who have been here have seen our "diamond in the rough" apartment--a totally remodelled interior but a somewhat unfinished exterior. Over the last week or so, they've almost finished repainting the outside. We've gone from gray to...burnt sienna? At first I really didn't like the color, but I think part of my problem was seeing it next to the gray as they painted in stages. It seems better now that it's the only color, but I think it's still a little loud. They also installed nice looking light fixtures on all the front porches, which is a big improvement over the hodge-podge we used to have. We're still waiting, as you can see, for them to paint the wall in the back of our building. We're also still waiting on lights in the parking lot--right now it's very dark out there when we get home in the evenings!
