Wow, I LOVE the dramatic colors in the first room. Gorgeous. That blue room is pretty amazing, too.

I was going to say that I would imagine that covering the thermostat would interfere with its ability to function properly, but someone beat me to it.

I have never, not even once in my life, looked at my thermostat and thought, "My dining room would be so much better if I didn't have to look at that thing!" :)

My dogs have tended to get a little nervous around moves, and when we pack boxes the oldest one often looks spooked and has a few housebreaking accidents, but otherwise they're pretty much fine with a move.

For my cats, I try to block off any hidey holes where they may disappear BEFORE beginning packing (very very important! when we bought our house, it came with a cat in the basement ceiling because she went into a hole and refused to come out, and we spent weeks trying to trap her so that she could get returned to her loving owners), pack them and their stuff up last, get them to the new place first, and lock them in whatever room will have their litter pans. I lock them in until they show a desire to come out. It seems like once they've settled into their litter pan room, they know that they're gonna be okay. Then they're ready to come out and explore the rest of the place, knowing that they have a safe spot to run back to.

Is that a podaegi hanging over the bed?

I love this apartment. It's so warm and organic and comfortable.
