..At a Glance..

We have been here for 2 weeks now and I realized that I haven't even posted one picture of our new great apartment! Sorry for the delay. These are pictures that I took the day we moved in so the place looks a little messy and empty. It does look a little different now but you'll get the idea until we post more of the newly decorated things once we get more done in here. We have a few things in mind that will make it more of a home but until then, here it is: Our New Pad!

This is the entryway, right when you walk in the door. I'll explain where things are in respect to this picture and then the rooms are pictured below. Directly to the left is the half bathroom and to the right is the kitchen. Directly in front is the living room or what they call 'The Salon' here. There is a hallway to the left a little that leads to the full bathroom on the left, the office on the right, and our bedroom at the end of the hall. I hope that all makes sense!

Here is the half bathroom...just a toilet and sink squeezed in there!

Here is the kitchen, view #1, right as you enter. There is a ton of cabinet space in this place and SO much in the kitchen, it's amazing. You know what that means Mom and sisters: More cabinets for me to leave open!!! :)

Here is the continued kitchen. It's really big with tons of marble counter space. We got all new appliances when we arrived so that was fun! Near the window of this picture is the laundry room. Our hot water heater is above the counter and our washer goes under the cabinet near the wall.

 Here is the Salon. These are our couches, or 'farashes.' The one on the left has our brown cover on it. They now have bases to raise them off the floor, brown covers, and pillows. It's really nice in here and the brown helps to downplay the pinkish-peach walls :)

This is the full bathroom. This picture doesn't do it justice but it's actually very big! Behind the door is a large closet as well.

This is the office. It has a desk and shelf but not much else in it. It also functions as the other half of the laundry room because this is where I hang the wet clothes. Also, on the wall opposite the window is yet more closet space :)

And at the end of the road is our bedroom. This is before we had our bedspread and bed frame, however. Again, notice all of the closet space! It's awesome!!!

No post would be complete without a picture of us so here I am changing all the light bulbs in the place. Maybe you didn't notice in the photos but we do have a couple of chandeliers in here containing 8-10 bulbs each! It was a big job!

And here is Paul on our kitchen counter, hard at work to fix our hot water heater. This is when we turned the water on to check for leaks. His face is a little misleading though because there are no leaks, he did a great job! 

Thanks for checking out our crib. Check back for photos of our improved crib later!
