I'm finally getting around to posting Part Two of the
apartment tour. Hope you enjoy!
Bedroom Two -
This room looks different now than when I first took these photos last month. And it will look different again in a few weeks. Right now, a friend of ours is staying here while she works her hardest on graduating high school. Just a week and a half to go! The furniture that we have for her is pretty much what's shown here (though I found homes for most of the junk against the wall), but in a couple of weeks, another friend of ours is lending us her daughters' bed, dresser, and vanity, because she is getting bunk beds for her little girl. I'm super excited to make this now catch-all room into a real guest room.
This right now is my storage system for my crafty stuff. I'm looking for a sturdier/more organized way of keeping all of these things together, so maybe if you have an idea, you could share it!
This photo is meant to show how HUGE our closets are, but I just don't think it looks right. You'll have to take my word for it. They are gigantic.
Bathroom Two -
To me, a bathroom is a bathroom. However, if I do decide to do any painting, I think this is the first room I'll start with. Or maybe the dining room. Or both!
Dining Room -
Have I already mentioned? Almost all of the furniture in our house has been given to us by parents, friends, and neighbors. And I am so thankful! A lot of people find themselves newly married and in a pretty big hole of debt because of all the things you need to get when you move out to your own place. Granted, this would not be the table and chairs that I picked out, but hey. Mimi's not using them anymore, and the chairs are spinny. Fun!
This chandelier is my favorite built-in part of the whole apartment... except maybe the
dishwasher.
A couple of close-ups of my little collage wall. This wall is covered both with things that are extremely meaningful and memorable to me (fountain painting from my trip to the Dominican; pumpkin painting from an artist we met on our honeymoon; dried butterflies from Bolivia [I'll have to tell you about the significance of butterflies later]; the key to remember that the "key" to life is trusting God to give me what I need today and not to worry about the strength, money, grace, or whatever I'll need any time in the future) and things that have almost no meaning but are just pretty (the little gold mirror, the ceramic "love" heart, the upside-down butter dish filled with beads). Again, if I decide to paint, I want to paint the walls adjacent to this wall in a sort of gold-ish brown to match the mirrors, the paintings, and the goose.
Kitchen -
Isn't that mirror by the sink cool? It was there when we moved in. Love it (except on days when I'm not feeling exactly thrilled with standing in front of a mirror, if you know what I mean).
Yay! Dishwasher!!
We got this cabinet as a gift from Rod's sister. In our first apartment, we used it for our TV. But since we bought Kelly and Jay's old entertainment center, this now houses our microwave, snack foods, and random stuff that has no other home (like the blender, crockpot, and coffee maker). I love having the extra cabinet space, plus it fills up that weird empty corner of the kitchen. Flower painting by me, painted scarf by Picasso ($1 at the Greenville Thrift Store - oh, how I miss you thrift store).
So that's it! I hope you've enjoyed the little tour. And if I'm lucky, maybe someday I can give some of you a REAL tour!
