Our Home

Andrew and I have been living in our little apartment in Oregon for a little over a month now. It has surprised me how long it has taken for us to get things unpacked and put away, but we're finally getting organized. Things still aren't decorated to my satisfaction and the furniture isn't arranged properly. We're planning to get a sofa sometime (ours wouldn't fit through the door), so I'm waiting on that to decide where to hang pictures and stuff. But since our place is finally sorta neat, I thought I'd share pictures...


The living room... lacking a sofa.


Kitchen and hallway (Please ignore the bottle of window cleaner; I was cleaning the bathroom mirror.)


Andrew's parents are letting us borrow some of their recliners since we can't use our sofa


My kitchen... which is a bit too cluttered for my taste, but I don't have enough cabinet or drawer space to store everything properly.


Dining area... set for three because we were having a dinner guest that evening.

Also, I took two videos of our place for my family:

Sarah,
Your apartment looks so comfy. I remember the apartment days. I kind of liked it. No yard to mow and any maintenance problems were handled by some one else. :-) Our first living room consisted of a recliner that reclined continually unless it was propped against the wall and a red bean bag. We also had some old end tables and a matching coffee table which I think have now came back in style. :-) It takes time to get things as you want them but you've got a great start. I just love your bed. I've always wanted a bed with tall post. We may replace ours after Britt takes her bedroom set and put our old one in her room.
Hope you are having a great day.
Donna

Sarah, I loved the tour of your apartment. Thanks for sharing with us.

Sorry we weren't able to make it to the wedding. The pictures prove what I already guessed -- beautiful!!

Your apartment looks like you and your style of decorating...very clean-cut and efficient but cozy. I bet you had a blast decorating it. I can't believe the two chairs in the living room are so far apart. ;)

Thanks, Donna! Yes, it is nice not to have to worry about maintenance problems, but I sort of miss the yard work and having flowerbeds to weed. :)

Stephanie, thanks for commenting! I hope Charlotte is doing well! I haven't seen pictures of her yet...

Actually, Mom, we usually either sit together on the floor or both of us in one chair. ;) They are w-a-y too far apart!
