[1] This is our entryway and the view from outside the door, looking in. [2] We have a cute little table and a mirror. At first, I was afraid that my reflection in the mirror would scare me when I walked into a dark home (yes, I'm that big of a baby), but I have successfully had no incidents of getting scared by my own reflection. [3] I love our two key hangers, right next to the door.
[4] Our dining room is on the right side when you first walk in and to the right of that is a little patio. To the left is [5] the kitchen WITH [6] a dishwasher!
[7] A closer view of our kitchen. Thank you Hannah for that picture and frame. We love it right above the stove! And a shoutout to Stephanie for [8] the cute Washington magnet.
[9] A view of our living room from the entryway. We're still figuring out how we want to arrange things, but we like this layout for now. In the future we hope to buy a flat-screen television and mount it on the wall. To the right of the living room is [10] the kitchen. We want to eventually buy some barstools to put here.
[11] A picture of the living room from the base of the stairs. Behind the couch, we put a chair right next to the window. [12] A whiteboard/corkboard that I got Erin for graduation. It's at the base of the stairs so it's the first thing we see when we go downstairs. It's a good way to keep track of each other's schedules. [13] A small hallway also at the base of the stairs. Our washer/dryer is on the right side and the guest bathroom is straight ahead.
[14] The guest bathroom with a big Ikea picture on the left. This bathroom is bigger than ours upstairs and I may consider moving some of my stuff down here since there is more counter space. [15] Representing Toms!
[16] After all this talk about the stairs, here is proof that they actually exist! Erin and I were super excited to have stairs at our new place, but it was a beast to move our stuff up these things without scratching all the walls. [17] I love this picture/canvas thing that Erin got at Urban Outfitters: HOME IS WHERE YOU ARE. It was in her kitchen at the old apartment and we wanted it somewhere more noticeable here. [18] This is our huge storage area/closet space underneat the stairs. If you look into it, there is a ton of space to the left (though not much now since we have so much stuff packed into it). But seriously. A large person could sleep in there with space to spare.
[19] This is a bad picture of the upstairs bathroom. The door on the right connects to [20] the hallway at the top of the stairs. The door on the left connects to Erin's room.
[21] A better view of the bathroom from the door that connects to Erin's room. It's enough space, but the downstairs bathroom is much bigger. [22] The shower. Obvi.
[23] When you walk through the bathroom into Erin's room, there is another sink. We were super happy about that because we each have our own space for all our bathroom stuff. Erin also has two closets with mirror doors. I don't have a picture of the second one. [24] Erin's room!
[25] At the end of the small hallway at the top of the stairs is my room. This shot is standing right outside my door, looking in. [26] There is a little alcove that I LOVE. We actually got this extra space for free because there was a special going on. I will probably put a lamp and a bookcase there to use as my reading space. [27] Cut me some slack, but here is a picture of my messy room standing from the alcove area. Now I'm wishing I had at least made my bed...or put away my clean laundry. Ha, oh well. My room isn't put together yet because I don't have furniture. I can't wait to get that because then I can start putting some pictures on the wall. So much potential. Just waiting to happen. Oh, also, I have a vaulted ceiling, which you can see in that last picture. It adds a lot of space to the room.
[28] I love having a queen-sized bed, especially after sleeping on a couch for the three weeks before we moved. Better sleep = a happier me. [29] My walk-in closet!
[30] I forgot to take a picture of this while I was downstairs, but this is our patio. My futon was put out there because there is no good place to put it inside. When we first moved and there was a ton of stuff covering the entire living room floor, this futon made it impossible to arrange anything. Putting it outside will give us some time to figure out what to do with it. [31] Connecting to our patio is a little extra strip of space. We don't have anything there yet, but we've talked about getting a small barbeque.
Well, there is the new place! Hopefully you friends in the Midwest can come visit me sometime to see it in person!
