The House

For those of you who keep asking... here is the house!

Specs: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, 1903 (ish) sq. ft., we got it for an absolute steal and we LOVE it! We only plan on living here for the next 3 1/2 years (until Chris graduates) so it is the perfect size for us to grow into but not out grow. Please keep in mind that only ONE room is decorated, so don't judge all the beige walls!

Kitchen (and yes, many of those beautiful cabinets are EMPTY!)

Stairs...

LOVE my pantry

Hallway from kitchen that leads to the pantry, half bath, master and mudroom

Cute bench in the mudroom

Little laundry room

Master closet... love.

My favorite wall... in our living room

living (that is the front door there on the left with the glass)

living... love the fire place (and use it nearly every day!) but not that it is in a corner!

This is one of the extra 2 bedrooms upstairs, it is actually bigger than the master and so we made this our informal family room. Chris spends most of his time time here :)

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Apartment Living

We are closing on this wonderful little house next week...

This is obviously a huge step in our lives. It marks the end of the "Apartment Living" era. This morning while lying in bed, Chris and I compiled a list of things we are going "miss" about apartment living:

1. how hot our east facing bedroom got every morning

2. the pink glow our red curtains gave our bedroom walls.

3. how our closet door couldn't be opened all of the way because it hit our bed

4. the loud groan our neighbors air conditioner makes every three minutes

5. having zero storage

6. trying to sell our apartment contract over and over and over again

7. the bird poo on our cars (the covered parking is supposed to prevent this, but the birds nest IN the covered parking... so much for that grand idea)

8. getting tons of mail for past tenants

9. storing all of our small appliances on top of our kitchen cabinets (see No. 5)

10. using our office closet as a food pantry (see No. 5, again)

What do/will you "miss" about apartment living?
