our very-small-but-so-great-for-us apartment

Our apartment is small. We'll be the first to admit that, but its size isn't anything out of the ordinary for a city place and it really does work perfectly for us. We are both so happy in it...and Alex even helps clean...his vacuuming skills are quite impressive. Well, here are the pictures that everyone's been asking for. Again...comments encouraged on this post as I'd love to know what everyone thinks or if there are any questions! Enjoy...

What you see when you walk in. Al's desk, kitchen table, wine area. To your right is the small kitchen and door to living room. Down the hall is the bathroom and bedroom. The desk came as ready-to-assemble in two flat boxes. It took my dad about 12 total hours to put it together. Thanks dad!


Turning right off the main room, entering the living room. Window and TV stand on right, couch is to the left. **Note: the pictures in the frames will all be changing soon. Right now it looks like a Loyd-fest (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I don't want Danny & Loretta to think we don't like them! :)



Couch. Alex's closet is to your right, full wall length with storage compartments above. Alex hung those sconces last night, he's becoming great with the drywall screws and a level.










Sitting on the couch looking forward toward the window. Our TV looks huge. We watched "Batman Begins" last night on it with all the lights out, it felt like a movie theater. Alex has proposed stadium seating.





Kitchen area off main room. Its little, but it does make cooking pretty efficient since everything is one step away. Sorry its a little cluttered in this picture, I was making dinner when Alex took the pics.
Bathroom, down hall and to right. And in response to my cousin's husband, Matt's, question...no you don't have to step on the toilet to get in and out of the shower. But it is possible.



Mirror/vanity area of bathroom. First time I've ever had a medicine cabinet, I find them fascinatingly functional.



Bedroom. (Thanks to Aunt Kathy for the cute bedding)! There is a closet on the right side of the window that I use. It is smaller, but it too has an above storage area. We put the bed on risers so we could fit plastic drawers underneath for more storage. Our bed skirt to cover that will be here any day.





Other side of bedroom.

Front door. Kitchen is to your left. And yes, the fridge is in the entryway, but its in an alcove that makes it less awkward.








Thanks for "visiting" our apartment. We can't wait for non-virtual visitors!
Love,
Katie
