Whoohoo! The container arrived early!! Every month a container from Holland and the the US (Texas) is sent. Longterm crew can mail stuff to either packing location--obviously medical/ship stuff gets first priority but if there is room, they will put your stuff on! No fees ... just a three month wait. Since we put our stuff on the container while we were in Texas, we only had to wait a month once we got on board. But it felt like three months to me; needless to say I was pretty excited about fixing our room up to look like a home.
When we toured the ship in January, I tried to get as many pictures of the couples’ cabin as possible. It was definitely weird trying to plan a room without being able to measure things or walk around. But I happened upon the email address of a couple on board and wrote them with some questions. They were so awesome and responded with LOTS of helpful information. And what do you know--they turned out to be our neighbors! :)
So without further ado.. here is cabin 4311, hereafter known as home.

and have a seat! {No nails allowed in the walls but thankfully ALL of the walls
are metal so all it takes to hang up a picture is a couple of magnets! Easy to move around too then. |
AND many many thanks to Grandma Stull who sewed
up the blue pillow shams there for me! :) The key to living
on a ship is BRIGHT colors I think!
The wallpaper looking stuff is actually a self-adhesive shelf liner.
I found it cheap on amazon and there is tons of it! It just helps
take away from the beige-ness.
