Our Apartment.

Well I figured since the only people who have see our apartment are my parents and Paul's dad and Grandma I decided to give you a little virtual tour. I also thought it would be good since many of you will never actually get to come over. So here it is for your viewing pleasure our apartment. It is an old 1920's house that was built to be a triplex. We live upstairs with two downstairs neighbors who are actually great. But we don't below and listen to us so maybe we're not the great neighbors. lol



These are the stairs to our apartment. Yes very creepy sometimes. lol
When I first moved in they freaked me out.




Our door in all it's glory. The peephole is very handy:)















When you come in if you look to the right you have. . .













This is our little eating/computer/home appliance area/whatever we want area. lol and yes our ceilings are crazy short I can basically palm our ceilings with both hands in most places. It's small but we like it.


From our little nook if you keep going straight you have. . . the hallway!!! lol

This is the closest thing to a hallway that we have lol it's not even really a hallway












From the hallway if you look to the left you have our Bathroom!!!! lol It's very small but it works




















Below is our tub and sink area. You'll notice that those are tomato boxes as shelves. . . Yes very handy indeed. lol Our friend Tauna actually showed us that little secret and they are extremely sturdy and work very well especially if you're poor cuz they are free. All you have to do to get one is ask Subway or somewhere like that. lol They have changed our life! lol



















Straight through the hall and you come to. . . .













This is our bed room it's very cozy. I like it except for the closet freaks the crap out of me. It's
like one of those closets from the scariest movie ever and you just know someone's gonna be in there waiting to kill you. It's like a crawlspace thing kind cuz it's an old 1920's house.

And Yes it's a little messy but not too bad.

Yes I know the dresser needs painted. It's needed it as long as I can remember. I've had it since I lived at mom and dad's house.

In case you haven't noticed by now but we really like shelves. They come in very handy when there's not very much room in the house. We actually got most of them from Tauna except for the ones our bedroom. Those are ones that Paul and I had before she gave us more.




If when you come into the apartment and you look to the left you will find. . .


Our kitchen it's small but we don't mind. It's big enough for us and the shelves help alot with storage. The only thing we don't like about it is that it only has one outlet besides what the stove and fridge are hooked up too. It sucks so we always cook in our living room or the nook. So that's why we call the nook our appliance room it has our microwave in it permanently. Oh and our stove is ancient and tiny/skinny it's awful we try not to use it except for like boiling water and that's about it.





So this is our shelf and our cupboard space. yeah none. That's ok there's a little bit by the stove. And that's our little toaster oven thing. We try and use that any time we can to avoid using the stove. It's the lucky appliance that gets the plug in the kitchen. lol


Now if you move on to your left from the kitchen you come to the. . .
The living room!!!! It's very comfy and we seem to have an abnormally large amount of furniture for this area but we sill have plenty of space. Oh the blanket on the wall is covering a window to help keep the sun/heat out. Since blinds do nothing. lol







Yes some of you may recognize this entertainment center as the one from mom and dad's and you would be correct and works amazingly. The other blue sheet thing is covering Tauna's set of shelves. I like it :)






And in this room we only have like 2 plugs and we think one kinda has a short or something so we don't us it. It's behind the shelves. So we get to use two surge protector extension cords. Woot!!!!! lol its really not that bad.




Here is one more little couch in our living room. That makes one big one and 2 love seats. This particular love seat turns into a hide-a-bed oooohhh!!! Yeah so anytime you wanna drop by we got a bed for you. lol

And in case you were wondering yes those are all of my stuffed animals. You may remember me sleeping with them till I got married and I just couldn't get rid of them, so that random shelf in our apt. was just perfect:)

Well that concludes the tour. Anytime you wanna stop by for the real life size thing come on over:)
