A peek into our home

Ok, maybe more like an open house. ;) Sorry for the delay... long story of internet troubles. We seem to attract it like a magnet. That being done, here is our home! I am proud to say that we totally moved in in about 5 days. I think that is an all time record. :) My favorite room is our bedroom....


It's about twice the size of our old one, with 2 big windows. I love that. Even after 2 weeks, it is a retreat for us. Being in there brings so much peacefullness! Now let's start from the beginning...


That's our door on the left. I don't really like looking at our shoes. But with no closets.... k sera sera.


View as you walk in the front door. We LOVE the fireplace.


Somehow, knowing we will be moving 3 times in 3 years, we have managed to not have to buy a couch yet! Thanks for the nice hand-me-down Dave & Chris! Jared was wonderful hanging all our pictures last Saturday. Talk about mind over matter. Thanks sweetie!!


Standing at the front door. We really like the semi-open floor plan!! Still have get bar stools.


Living room, front door, and patio. Again, our lack of storage meant the kitchen had to spill over to the living room a bit.


The dining room is my second favorite. :)


The kitchen is small, but I still love it! It's fun being in there, and I've had lots and lots of time to cook while I'm still looking for a job.


I like having a kitchen view into the living room, as well as a bar counter. The laundry room is against the left wall. You saw the door in a previous picture.


The "hallway" to the bathroom (right) and bedroom (left).


We installed a curved shower rod which we are drooling over. Best. choice. ever. The bathroom is smaller than our previous, but we are making do. :)


Peeking into our bedroom!




AND... the only closet in our entire apartment. I'm getting over it. :) It  is so nice though to have all our stuff in one place!

Hope you enjoyed the tour. :) One of these nights when Jared and I head out to the pool again, I'll take some pictures of the outdoor "scenery." As for tonight.... I made peach crisp so I'm sure that will pre-occupy us.

Love from Barboursville!

  3. It looks wonderful and so YOU! I'm sure after a long day at work, coming home to an apartment like that has got to make Jared (and eventually you) smile and feel relaxed.
    I'm jealous. We still have so much work to do before we're moved in and look anything close to put together like your place. Someday we'll get there and take pictures so you can see. For now, I'm just ashamed of how messy it is...
